Sturgeon Moon

This is the Sturgeon Moon high above Muscongus Harbor in Bremen, Maine in August 2019

Morning Convo

Before human social distancing, the gulls were doing it, but why?

Shadow Tourist

Usually when at the ocean I am taking oceanscapes, of course, right? In this case, I was looking away from the ocean and a path to take me to my next shot. As I looked up, the back lighting of this tourist taking pictures with his cell phone and the backdrop of the amazing clouds was not what I was expecting. Many great landscape shots are ones that were never planned. Get out and explore. Where will you go next?

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse

The loud roar of the crashing waves are behind me as high tide begins to creep in nearing sunset on a warm August evening. The rock layers and texture are amazing throughout this area. When I see the bell, I can't help to think of Hells Bells.

Sunrise on Muscongus Harbor

Early sunrise on the bay. The mosquitoes were almost intolerable. Thankfully, the kind couple up for the sunset left me their can of bug spray as they departed so I could capture the many pine tree islands scattered along the horizon.

Sunrise and Gulls

At the end of a short little road in the town of Breman, Maine is this quiet little spot at Muscongus Bay.The gulls were flying, but they were sure to be quiet and not to disturb their neighbors.

Engage Landing Gear

A gulls comes in for landing. Her, the other gulls and I appear to be the only ones awake until the faint sound of the rumbling engines of the fishing boats are heard in the distant as they move toward the mouth of the bay to begin the day's journey into the Atlantic.

Sunrise in Breman

The stillness, the quietness and the orange glow is struggling to peak through the cloud covered morning. It was not the sunrise that I was hoping for, but it was still a brilliant morning to be out and about.

Moon Settles on Muscongus Harbor

The mosquitoes were hungry this evening. The door is left open and someone inside is trying to tell me to come in...there are no mosquitoes in here. I decide to pass and not become part of a horror movie and only picture it.

Low Tide in Acadia

To get to this point, come at low tide and climb various levels of rock formations. Try not to bang you camera while climbing the rocks and leave before the tides crash in.

Pit Stop for Skipping Rocks

My son and I stopped to ripple the glass by doing a father and son classic...skipping stones. The sky is begins to show hints of magenta and purple. If we don't stop trying to break our record of 13 skips, we will miss the sunset on top of Cadillac Mountain.

Cadillac Mountain Sunset

I had to race to find a spot that would capture the evening colors. I was not familiar with the sunsets here and I didn't have a compass (like I know how to use a real one or a compass app). I ventured down various paths to come to dead ends for sunset views or found that other places had way to many people. The final route I chose landed me here to get the night sky, boat traffic and the small town lights below.

Moon Spying Fisherman's Boat

Hidden in the photograph is race to beat the locals heading out to their boats for the morning journey into the Atlantic as they awake the harbor waters and disrupt the evening stillness. However, they will return with the best lobsters in the world.

Classic New England Fisherman

The 7 days a week workers hauling in the day's catch on a Summer eve. My guess is that the two will belly up to the bar at the top of the dock for at least a pint before an early night. At least that is what I would do.
