Standing above Bar Harbor I was in awe of the wide expanse of ocean. The fresh air, warm breeze, along with the mountains, forests, ponds, streams and beaches, Acadia has it all. We were fortunate to see Bass Harbor Lighthouse lit for a local celebration. This park is a beautiful destination for hiking, swimming, fishing and enjoying nature at its finest.

Beautiful as they are, these tidal places are often moody and strange. Sometimes you can feel the bittersweet tang of your mortality rubbing up against a beachhead of infinity.
