The Day is Done

Bar Harbor, Maine is a fantastic place to visit particularly at sunset. Fishing villages are as synonomous to the charatcer of New England as are covered bridges, white steepled churches and the ever changing weather. Bar Harbor is a classic summer tourist destination, but it had its start as a working fishing village. While the tourists come in droves, the fisherman still quietly ply their trade, often unnoticed by the millions of summer visitors.

Looks very familiar, Greg :smile: . In 2009, my buddy and I and our wives spend a week in October in Bar Harbor. While everything about the seacoast, the NP and Maine was magical, in my view, the fishing harbors were the best of all. My absolute favorite was Bernard. I spent several hours in Stonington, Bernard, and Bass Harbor and poked around the lobster traps, fishing boats, etc.

This one has all the elements: the dinghy, the traps, the bouy, the weathered dock, the sunset at the end of a long day. Looks like a magazine or brochure cover in the works.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for the kind words! Bernard is one of my favorites too.

You may not be aware, but you and I have a mutual friend. Her name is Carol. She also goes by "Abby" in the Vermont foliage forum. She and I seem to shoot the same places all the time. Eventually we crossed paths at the same time. She can't say enough good things about you! I hope we'll continue to cross paths in this forum.
Take care,
Greg

Hi Greg. Carol did mention you when I saw her in Vermont in October - but I could not remember your name. She did say you frequented this forum. I got a chance to meet her and her husband in person this year. These forums are a wonderful place to meet new people with similar interests. I check this area regularly and will continue to look for your images.

I will keep my eye out for your work as well! I particularly enjoyed the lighthouse with the fireworks that you posted on the other forum. It is a fantastic shot!
