Acadia

I finally managed to get to a national park for the first time in several years, so here’s some pictures from Acadia National Park in Maine.

Technically, some of these weren’t in the park, but of the surrounding area – you can’t constrain scenery!

Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay and its islands - viewed from Cadillac Mountain
The Bass Harbor Head Light
Boardwalk trail along Jordon pond
Little Hunters Beach, beach was all cobblestones
A moose warning sign along the highway - There was far more moose merchandise than actual moose in the park!
The shore at Pretty Marsh Harbor
Swamp along Seal Cove Road
A ship passing in front of one of the porcupine islands
A view of Somes Sound from the summit of Acadia Mountain
The Bubbles and Jordon Pond
The Bubbles, with more sky in the picture
A side view of the bubbles, which are the two mountains in the middle - in front of the larger mountain ridge in the back
Carins on Bar Island, with the sandbar trail in the background (that's only passable at low tide).
A temporary waterfall on Cadillac Mountain
Thunder Hole

Thunder hole is a crevice where the incoming tide can make some spectacular splashes – this is the biggest one I was able to get on video:

Rocks and the Atlantic Ocean at the natural seawall
The Bubbles and Jordon Pond
Some of the cliffs of Mount Desert Island
Egg Rock
More rocks
Egg Rock, with seals in the foreground and the Egg Rock Lighthouse in the back
Cliffs of Ironbound Island (not part of the park)
Cormorants - birds that love the water but aren't waterproof!
More cliffs of Mount Desert Island
A view of the sandbar (that's only passable at low tide) to Bar Island, from Bar Island
The tiny island of Yellow Island
Another view of the sandbar (that's only passable at low tide) to Bar Island, from Bar Island
A bird eating a crab
Sailboat in the mist
Found this carving in the rafters of the pavilion at Pretty Marsh - let's face it, that was nobody's year
Sunset at Hadley Point

And finally, a panorama view from the top of Cadillac Mountain:
