We had gotten up at 4 AM to drive to Acadia National Park, where we headed to the top of Cadillac Mountain, a popular spot for greeting the new day. Supposedly, it’s the first place in the U.S. to see the rising sun due to its latitude and elevation.
It was a crisp and blustery October day, and the clouds were giving us fits. I did manage to capture a beautiful pink and blue-hued shot of a cruise ship coming into Bar Harbor as wispy clouds floated overhead and beneath the larger, darker ones. But it was the sunrise that we had hoped to see. Because of the clouds, we had to wait for the sun to rise a bit higher in the sky before we got a peek.
In these instances, you take what you’re given. All in all, it worked out fairly spectacularly. It was worth the early rise.
