Baker Island-Acadia National Park

Baker Island was one of the major highlights of our visit to Acadia. The park ranger that lead the trip kept us both entertained and well informed. My favorite spot was the Gilley family burial spot.

 

Frenchman’s Bay

Pictures of Frenchman’s Bay which were all taken within walking distance of our cottage rental. The lightning shot was a 30 second exposure @ f/4.5.

 

Acadia Coastline Shots

Well, I just got back from a beautiful vacation in Bar Harbor with the family. I took over 1100 images. Here are the first 4 of the Acadia coastline. I made a mad dash up and down the loop road to grab these shots before the sun went down. The first two are of Monument Cove. The third shot is looking south just north of Thunder Hole. The last shot is looking towards Sand Beach.

Running to the Gile Mountain Fire Tower

My first run up Gile Mountain on the Blue Ribbon Trail. It was a 3.5 mile uphill run with a nice reward at the top, a view from the top of the fire tower. A little mud at the top with a very fast last mile. The trailhead starts 3.5 miles up Beaver Meadow Rd on the right in Norwich, VT. There is also a 20 minute hike to the tower via Turnpike Road.

Bellows Falls and Fall Mountain

These pictures were taken in November of last year. Pictures of Bellows Falls from Fall Mountain and the train station. I highly recommend this short hike. You park at the end of Mountain View Road in Walpole, NH.

   

Here is the same view tilt-shifted.

The Cross

I went back and took some more picture of the old cross. All taken with 35mm lens f/22. Blended 8 exposure shots 2 steps apart.

Here is the shot I took a few days ago. This one I took with the wide angle lens f/24 and cropped it.

Random Shots
