Maine was equal parts beautiful and frustrating. I met a few kind people, some of them in the pitch black darkness of Acadia’s forests. They were on the same pilgrimage for dark skies I was on. I also had some great seafood and ice cream. I even drank a Moxie, which tastes like root beer and tonic mixed together. It grew on me. The weather, however, did not cooperate. We had overcast skies, rain, and fog for a good portion of the trip. This made for pretty poor conditions for photography. Additionally, my whale and puffin tour was canceled due to rough seas and dense fog. So, Puffins are still on the bucket list. I was able to make a few new images of the night sky at Jordan Pond, so it wasn’t totally fruitless.
Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse. Climbing onto these rocks with a pack full of gear was interesting.
Bar Harbor, Maine. Rain and fog. This was the harbor the day my puffin tour was canceled.
