While visiting friends in Maine, they needed to put up their boat for the winter and graciously took me on a harbor cruise in the process. It was a pleasant weather day to be out and enjoy the sights. I had never seen these rotating bridges before, so found them fascinating. To give a sense of the experience, I framed the bridge through the rails on the boat's bow. Shooting off the boat was a different experience and I learned some things in the process to correct in future outings. In the meantime, enjoy the ride. Sheepscot River, Maine, USA, October 2018

Time for a Sunday Cruise with Janet and Bill, who were wonderful and gracious hosts for part of my visit to Maine. The shots from Maine will be a mixture of travel shots and landscape/nature shots. You don't always shoot with the best light while on vacation, which is expected. But you can still make good travel photographs that capture the character of the area. I'm guessing this is lobsterman's home with the buoys decorating the wall. Shot from boat while cruising down the river. Sheepscot River, Maine, USA, October 2018

While on a hike, I came across this group of maple leaves. It was a patchy cloudy day and the light was alternating between cloudy and sunny, and the wind was intermittent. So I shot a series of shots under varying light with some blurred from the wind, and some still. The wind was blowing upwardly as it was banking off the hillside. There a lot of deletes in this process trying to get it just right. This is one of my favorites as they look like dancing flames ... thus the title. Acadia National Park, Maine, USA, October 2018

It's not a spectacular shot, but it was a wonderful day spent cruising on the boat with Janet and Bill. Some fall color along the Sheepscot River. There were a lot of evergreens along the river with some areas that had a few more deciduous trees mixed in. The blueberry bushes had turned to their red fall color.

Janet and Bill were wonderful host in Maine, not just because of their hospitality, but they also understood my passion for photography and helped in identifying local sunrise spots even though they thought I was nutty for getting up so early in the morning. I can't thank them enough for the enjoyable experiences received on the trip. China Lake, Vassalboro, Maine, USA, October 2018
