Greenery200 views2012-10-10
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3023,-68.3453
We climbed the lower southwest side of Beech Mountain. This scene shows how green and rain forest-like this area is, somewhat in contrast with much of the rest of the park.

Ferns on the Rocks211 views2012-10-10
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3021,-68.3447
These ferns appeared to be growing out of the rocks--a fairly common sight in Acadia N. P. This is in the lower elevations of the far south side of Beech Mountain.

Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3025,-68.3429
This view is toward the west from the south part of Beech Mountain, looking toward the south edge of Long Pond (our rental car was parked close to the red tree at the south edge of the pond).

Cloud Base214 views2012-10-10
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3030,-68.3416
The clouds were so low that we entered the base of the overcast layer at approximately 130 m above mean sea level (this photo was at 138 m, according to Google Earth). The clouds give a slightly eerie look to the scene.

This photo is essentially the same as the previous photo with this title (two back, if you're viewing this sequentially), but was taken later, after clouds had lowered.

Unusual Fungus213 views2012-10-10
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3020,-68.3447
This fungus was unusual in the sense that I've not seen it elsewhere (except for a few other specimens in Acadia N. P.), and that it looks a lot different than most of the other fungus we found. This one was near the south edge of Beech Mountain. The thick clouds and tree canopy left very little light for this photo, and the 1/5 s shot was taken hand-held.

This scene looks something like a rainforest. It's a short distance (about 100 m) southeast of the south shore of Long Pond.

Acadia National Park, Maine, USA

This scene is along the short Wonder Land trail in the far south part of Mount Desert Island. The red leaves are, I assume, sumac.

(Just outside) Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.2220,-68.3375
This lighthouse is very near the southernmost point on Mount Desert Island. It was late in civil twilight when this photo was taken.
