Howdee all
While in Maine we took a boat to two of the Cranberry Islands.
We took the ferry boat from
Southwest Harbor
It was a beautiful clear morning..The water was like glass…The first Island we went to was
Great Cranberry
Nestled just 30 minutes by ferry southeast of Mount Desert Island, with superb views of the mountains of Acadia National Park, the five Cranberry Isles host a year-round community of lobstermen, boatbuilders, and craftsmen, as well as numerous rusticators who’ve been returning each summer for years, if not generations.
Great Cranberry Island, the largest of the Cranberry Isles, has a truly commanding and spectacular view of Mount Desert Island and the mountains of Acadia National Park in Maine. Located near the southern entrance to Somes Sound, you can view Manset, Southwest Harbor and Somes Sound to the northeast from the public pier. Sutton Island and Northeast Harbor are to the north. Little Cranberry Island and Islesford are to the east. via AcadiaMagic.com

Time to return the camera again..

Hi Dawn..Maine looks lovely through your eyes..thinking of a jaunt there next summer..
ReplyDeleteLovely images Dawn especially the Lupines. That problem with the dust in your camera. Is it your Canon or Panasonic. Looks a bit terminal to me.
ReplyDeleteSecond only to the NC mountains, the coast of Maine is such a beatiful area.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo series Dawn! We made the trip there two years ago and have been wanting to go back.
ReplyDeleteBTW, looks like you may have a dust bunny on your sensor or mirror.
GREAT photos... I had a camera that did that once and it was horrible... Someone told me it was a damaged pixel cell but the dust sounds like somethinh that can maybe be taken care of.
ReplyDeleteHave fun & Travel safe
Donna
wonderful photos Dawn
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice quiet easy-going place. Thanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteI love that abandoned (?) house. Wouldn't mind living there :)
I can relate to your artifact issue, have one on my cam (spot on the mirror?), but no decent shops here (a friend warned me that they cleaned his mirror on the DSLR with a cloth - ugh!)
Dawn, great series of photos. The Cranberry Islands look like a pretty place to tour. Love the lupines and the scenic views are lovely.
