Mike and I always plan our Acadia trips with a stopover at Nubble Light hoping to catch a nice sunset or sunrise the following morning before the final leg of our trip back to MD. The last several years we have been witness to blue bird skies and no wave action. This year we finally got a break and had a beautiful sunset to compliment the incoming tide. Our luck did not hold out as we got that blue bird sunrise the following morning and did not even bother to stop.

As always thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment or suggestion.

This is sweet, Ed. Great drama in the sky combined with the FG rocks and crashing waves add up to a great picture. I think I would dodge in the rocks IMHO. devil

Ed, it all comes together in this image! The detail and colors are great. The only small nit that I have is that the width seems a little cramped. All in all, a very nice job!

Thanks for your thoughts Mike and Don; always appreciated. Here is a repost with my brother's suggestions. The dodging brought out some nice highlights of color in the waves.

Wonderful sky and foreground action Ed. I am sure both places were a madhouse.

Thanks for your thoughts, Eva. We were surprised that the parking lot was not overflowing as we got there 20 minutes before sunset and were able to drive right in a snag a spot with no trouble. Mike and I went down over the rocks to the water's edge and had no one within 50' of us. Most of the people stayed along the edge of the parking area.

Nice "alternative" view of the light, Ed, and the repost is even better. I like the action that your low view of the foreground adds here. Light like this makes all those other stops worth it.
