Digby

It was low tide and we wandered around the Annapolis Basin inlet area in Digby. It was amazing how the whole bay by the town was empty. I can't imagine how much water moves in and out of the area every 6 hours.

It was cool seeing what was the bottom of the bay at low tide, and probably would be 6 feet or more deep in water in a few hours.

Seaweed that was in the empty bay was kind of cool. I arranged for my shadow to do something silly (well, I had to do it too). I amused myself.

This is on the other side of the town, at low tide. You can see how the piers are normally in the water and how low the boats in the water are relative to the pier.

Two shots from downtown in Digby, one looking to the left towards the piers, the other looking right.

The first shot is Moof taking my picture while I'm standing on the stone wall. The second is not of Moof taking an extreme close-up of Jen. Rather, she's in the foreground as he takes a shot. And the post-shot-shot. He's got a big, honking lens.

We rented a cabin at the Digby Pines. Outside were some pretty roses.

We went to a lighthouse near Digby. Unfortunately, it was closed and there was a fence that seemed to indicate we should not enter. Not wanting to risk some sort of international incident, we decided to comply. Again, the lens flaw is very visible in the shot.

I took a left and right shot of the view of Annapolis Basin inlet near the lighthouse. The two pictures do not directly connect together; there's a rather large gap between them, but I was facing the same direction when I took the shots.

This is the same area as the pictures from the top of this page, only now the tide is going out. It was pretty cool, we could just watch the waves lap over a shell, and then a minute or two later, the edge of the water had receded about a foot and the shells were drying out. The tidal action is pretty dramatic.

Acadia National Park, Maine

We wandered around a rocky, tidal pool sort of area. One area would have water kick up each time the waves came in.

More tidal pool stuff. A wave crashing into a rock, some green muck, and more water and rocks.

More water and rocks.

two shots of Moof and Frank. Both were taken with Frank (me) holding the camera out at arm's length. The rocks in the third shot look like something out of an old Star Trek episode.

Cadillac Mountain, Acadia National Park

A few shots of the view from the top of Cadillac Mountain. Quite pretty.

Since it was late in the day, the sun was setting and casting cool shadows on the nearby hills. Nice view.

Two pictures of a big rock with Moof sitting next to it in the first one. I think the last shot might be of Jordan Pond.

A pile of rocks with a signpost saying where we are. And a picture of the setting sun.

Two more shots of the setting sun, and a view of Bar Harbor.
