The weather in Princeton, New Jersey has started to turn for the best. It seems that spring is finally here!
I took this photo a few weeks ago, after one of this year’s snowstorms. This is the path in the Delaware & Raritan Canal.

In a few weeks, the Milky Way will be once again visible in our neck of the woods. I’m very excited.
I captured this shot in Sorrento, Maine on August 2015. I actually used my grandfather’s old Nikkor 20mm lens, built in the mid-1960s.

We visited the family last Thanksgiving and rather than spending the weekend in a shopping center, I decided to head to Acadia National Park. It was an eerie experience. I tend to visit the park during the summer months. The park is full of people. While the park’s facilities are closed after late October, the Park Loop Road and most trails are still open to visitors. I literally had the park to myself. I probably saw four people all day. So here is a little tip, if you are thinking of visiting Acadia National Park and you can’t get there in the summer, an option is to visit during the fall.

For the last five years, I have wanted to visit the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine. It is located 90 minutes drive from Bangor and in mid August I decided to scratch this one from my photographic bucket list. Most photographers tend to visit the lighthouse during the sunrise. I decided to spend the day exploring the “Downeast” coast and take a sunset shot of the lighthouse. My plan almost succeeded. As I got to Lubec, a very thick fog bank moved into shore. I could barely see the lighthouse from the side of the road.
This is one of the photos I was able to capture. While it is not what I had originally envisioned, the image captures a scene common to New England coastal towns. I’m not ready to take this lighthouse from my bucket list yet. I consider this trip to be a scouting trip. Maybe later this summer I will be able to capture the photo I had envisioned yesterday. For now, I find comfort in knowing that I had a lot of fun exploring new parts of the Maine coast. Sometimes the journey is more satisfying than the destination.

Most wake-up early to get a glimpse of the sunrise on the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Maine’s Acadia National Park.
But here is a little secret. Seeing the sunset on top of Cadillac is a pretty amazing experience too.
During the sunrise, you have to fight the crowds and it is sometimes difficult to get a wide angle shot without people in the frame. This is not a problem during the sunset.
Next you time are planning to visit Acadia consider experiencing the “Cadillac Sunset” . Bring a sweater, a picnic blanket, some food, and a sturdy tripod. Stick around for an hour after the sun sets and you could also photograph the the Milky Way.
