lubec // quoddy head state park 3

The great thing about the fog in Lubec is that it is thick. I thought it would be interesting to shoot the park in the fog because it would remove all of the background information, leaving just the shapes of the coast behind. I enjoyed focusing on aspects of the coastal trail that I missed during our first hike — the vistas are very magnetizing on a clear day so it’s easy to miss the details on the shore. I’m still a beginner so these could certainly be better, but I really like how different they are from the previous set.

lubec // quoddy head state park 1

The West Quoddy Head Light, and the surrounding national park, is one of my favorite places to visit in Lubec. The lighthouse is the Easternmost point in the United States, which is pretty neat. But, by far, the best part of traveling so far into the East is the Quoddy Head State Park. There is a system of trails that takes the hiker through several different ecosystems (a photographer’s dream!). I’m separating my photos into three parts: the lighthouse and the coastal trail; the inland trail system and peat bog; and some black and white photos that I took on a foggy day (a very different experience of the park). Today’s pictures were taken on a bright and sunny day — you could even see Grand Manan in the distance. Lillia brought her dry-erase board with her so that she could sketch some of the things we saw.
