It was a DownEast weekend adventure for us. All we really knew, when we started Saturday morning, was that we were spending the night at Prospect Harbor at a B&B. We left the house at about 7:30 AM, with our first main destination Bar Harbor, but we stopped a few times along the way to take in some sights with the camera. We pulled into 'Bah Hahbah' about noon and walked the main drag taking in the shops. This is a shot of the town square in its autumn colors. Later, we drove the loop road around Acadia National Park and to the top of Cadillac Mountain for lunch that we had brought in our cooler. Delicious roast beef sandwich for me, while Elenka went with her usual nutritious meal, that seems to always put me to shame. Delicious views too!

beautiful photos, congratulations
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand clock--and no cobwebs on it--someone is taking good care of it. Love the background of leaf bounty. Sounds like you had a very inspiring drive.
ReplyDeletePlease, Sir, I want some more.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the roast beef, also!
ReplyDeleteOne thing that struck me was how clean the visibility was!
ReplyDeleteRemember the time we actually climbed Cadillac Mountain from Blackwoods campground? It was not a difficult climb, but very long. What a beautiful area.
Our next stop, Schoodic (still part of the park) , was a different world.
correction: how 'clear' the visibility was....
ReplyDeleteA simple little clock, fitting for a low budget place like Bah Hahbah.
ReplyDeleteSpooky picture... the colors of the clock and the background contrast so well, making it look almost eerie..
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun weekend! Nice old clock. And love the fall colors too!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves provide such a beautiful backdrop for that lovely clock!
ReplyDeleteWonderful image with magic colors. For a moment I thought this was a color negative of the (not so) good old days...
ReplyDeleteI like this clock pic quite a lot. Also sounds like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed Mount Desert Island and may get back there this summer. Bar Harbor, though, was a little too pricey and precious for us. We stayed at the opposite corner of the island where it was quiet. It's been several years in, if we return, it will be interesting to see if things have changed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture. Those gold leaves are spectacular and really showcase the clock.
