I compiled a few neat shots of our trip for your enjoyment!
Portland: We were only in Portland for a full day and night, but we walked around and saw some pretty beautiful things. We also took a ghost tour (I'll have a post about that soon).
Bangor: We stopped briefly in Bangor to snap a few shots of Mr. Stephen King's house. So cool!
Acadia National Park: We camped in the park for two nights, and it was gorgeous. We also hiked up Cadillac Mountain, which is the highest point on Mount Desert Island!
Bar Harbor: This was the end of our trip- we spent a day kayaking, where we saw seals and porpoises (they moved way too fast for me to capture) but the scenery stood nice and still. We ended our trip with a whale watch, and I got some fantastic up-close shots of this one Humpback, Gemini, who flirted with the boat a bit.
It was a wonderful way to end an already wonderful summer. I can't wait to get back to this beautiful state!
Beautiful photos! I went up to Portland for a day trip (from south of Boston) a few years ago and saw my sketchbook in the Sketchbook Project. Since then my best friend moved two hours north of Portland. Its a totally different way of life compared to city living, but really gratifying to experience nature and slow down. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, Portland was interesting- parts of it made us say, "Huh!? What the heck is going on here?!" but other parts were so artsy and cozy and cool. I'd definitely go back, but I think it would be another day-trip.
