Looking more like a landscape taken in Australia rather than Maine, I had fun with this unusual formation and loved the symmetry and juxtaposition of the rocks and mountains.

The air was still cool this morning as I stood on the edge of a remote pond in Western Maine, not far from the Canadian border, hoping that just a little piece of the rising sun would break through the fog that had begun to roll in. The call of a loon in the distance echoed as I waited patiently for this moment that only last a few minutes before the fog became so thick that from the shoreline the lake looked as though it were never even there.

While at the annual Aurora photographers meeting on the idyllic Lake Sebago, some people were kind enough to let me spend five minutes photographing their restored 1920′s wood canoe which I thought was done spectacularly.

Finally, a slight break in the weather gave me an opportunity to spend time at the Otter Cliffs area of Acadia National Park. Photographing in the deep shadows of the cove allowed for interesting lighting effects helping make a dramatic image out of a popular photography location.

Giving myself plenty of time to photograph Acadia National Park – one of America’s smallest parks – I arrived to find an onslaught of torrential downpours mixed with gloomy, white, overcast skies that never seemed to end. In other words, not so good for making photos. Despite it all, I made my best attempt to get a few photos and provide a little glimpse into the park.
