Cadillac Mountain Cloudbreak

Keeping it rolling here with some shots from Cadillac Mountain and Bar Harbor when the sun finally broke through! Of course, this was late in the afternoon on the day we were leaving. We headed up the mountain road fully surrounded by clouds whipped by the wind. At the summit it was easily 20 degrees colder, but after a few moments, the clouds finally broke and offered some great views. We ended up staying later than we wanted, but it was worth it! A quick stop in downtown Bar Harbor to see the ships and pick up some local craft beer, then on to the 5 hour drive to Boston!

Acadia in the Mist

It's been a while! And I've definitely forgotten to post some pictures from the past few months. Let's take care of that with a few posts in a row from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park this fall. This first group here is an early October day exploring the beaches, cliffs, and trails of Acadia in the mist, fog, and rain. Although it was peak leaf season -and the tourists on the roads definitely showed it- most of the side trails were deserted, so it wasn't a complete bust!

Bass Harbor Light

Spent this weekend in Maine relaxing in the cool air and exploring some new places. Will be posting a few series of shots. This first one is of Bass Harbor Light near Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island. Only about a half hour drive from the main tourist locale of Bar Harbor, this light house is set back from the crowds and is a great place to watch the sunset. It's incredibly quiet and secluded.
