Waves and Faces

Another predawn morning for us, making it possible to shoot the sunrise from mount Cadillac. The first place the sun is visible in the usa.

Bubble pond and Jordan Pond were next, followed by the Park Loop Road (two one way lanes) that runs along the coast making it very easy to just stop anywhere and photograph. Thunder Hole, Otter Point and Sand Beach as well. Then we turned to the villages of Northeast Harbor, Somesville, Seawall and Bass Harbor. All nice looking fishing villages that smell like fish everywhere. Our Last stop of the day was sunset at the Bass Harbor Head-Light, one of the most popular lighthouses of Maine. The streets are completely dark at around 17:10, crazy..




Along Ocean Drive.






By popular demand, a picture of a person. Don't know if it has the 'localisem' that you all imagine but this is Arthur, he owns the "Little-Notch -Bread" bakery at Somesville. And as he saw my camera he laid out his history with Seven Canon cameras he once had, and why he didn't want to sell postcards for a buck and a half. He was also very thrilled to tell me that his new camera has this amazing little thing that can remove the red-eye when the image is taken. "At least I have my bakery", he ended.
