To me it appears like either some species of spruce or perhaps it's a jack pine and yes, jes, you also recognized the old grist mill wheel.

Then I changed my mind, hoping someone would take a look in the morning and then opt for a cup of coffee first. LOL The "donut" (you must be having one of those Maine hankerings for a Dunkin' Donut) is approximately 3 1/2-4 feet in diameter. I would guess the tree is around 25-feet tall. The ocean in the background, holds at least a few hundred gallons of salt water.

I got to go get some coffee. :D So is that like a really small tree or just a really huge donut? I got to go get some coffee. :D
