An Island Aglow in Maine

An Island Aglow in Maine

“An Island Aglow in Maine”
Photo of the Week #22, selected in October, 2019

From Week 21 to 22 we go from coast to coast… The view from Cadillac Mountain in Maine can be spectacular at sunrise and this bucket list item didn’t disappoint. As the sun rises over the islands and channels of Mount Desert Narrows, southeast of Bar Harbor, it makes for particularly beautiful photos. In this case, one such island glows in the morning fog.

Cadillac Mountain is one of more than twenty mountains on Mount Desert Island, and at 1,530 feet, it’s the highest point along the North Atlantic seacoast. Each day before dawn, hundreds of pilgrims make their way to Acadia National Park, eager to watch the the first sunrise in the United States that morning. When I was there, I joined well over a thousand such pilgrims.

On Lookout Over the Pacific

On Lookout Over the Pacific

“On Lookout Over the Pacific”
Photo of the Week #21, selected in October, 2019

This photo was taken near Klamath, California, overlooking the mouth of the Klamath River at the Pacific Ocean. The cliffs overlooking the river and ocean are dramatic, hundreds of feet above the waters. The Klamath is known for its beautiful scenery, high-class rapids and wildlife, including a wide variety of rapters.

Far from being a bird of prey, this wren, surveying its domain, seemed to pose for me, even waiting for me to set up my camera until I could snap the pic. You gotta love birds…

Midwest Farm at Dusk

“Midwest Farm at Dusk”
Photo of the Week #20, selected in September, 2019

The Midwestern U.S. has many iconic farmhouses and barns and I have certainly shot my share of them. This particular farm is located in Caldwell, Kansas, about an hour due south of Wichita near the Oklahoma border. The Chisholm Trail ran by here from 1867 to 1871, and you can easily imagine this farm operating during that time frame.

Besides being an attractive set of antique farm buildings, I like this particular shot because the tones that the “Golden Hour” provided, as well as the contrast between the dark, freshly-plowed field with the untouched grassy surroundings.

Pacific Fog Washes Ashore

Pacific Fog Washes Ashore

This photo was taken in Humbolt County on the far northern coastline of California. Coastal fog on the west coast seems to act differently than on the eastern seaboard, especially New England, and I certainly have plenty of it to see when visiting Maine and Massachusetts in the fall.

Around the seashores of Northern California, Oregon and Washington State, a marine layer usually creeps in during the wee hours, especially during the summer. The fog often burns off by mid-afternoon, leaving a few hours of golden sunshine before dusk. In the east, you can have continuous fog for days. These peculiarities can create opportunities for some very different photos on each coast.

Oh, and just try to get a shot of open beach in New England… Another thing I really like about the west coast is its nearly complete public access along the ocean.
