Jordon Pond, Acadia National Park, Maine

One of the most visited area of Acadia National Park, Jordon Pond was formed by the Wisconsin Ice Sheild during the last glacial period. It’s lovely large round boulders and the shapely hills surrounding it, create many photographic opportunities.

There is a trail around it with several others branching off.

Photographing some Midscapes

Filed under: Algonquin,Flowers,Maine — Tags: Algonquin, Landscape, Ontario — Harold Stiver @ 6:00 am

Some details from Maine

They are somewhere between the grand landscape vistas of the Grand Canyon, and the tiny macros showing the pollen grains of a flower. I call them midscapes, small scenes showing some of the interesting things that are all around us.

As is often the case with photography, they are done by deciding what best to leave out rather than include.

The images below were taken in Algonquin.

The world's Largest Globe

Located at the Delorme Map Company outlet in Maine is the world’s largest globe called Eartha. It rotates and is 41.5 feet in diameter. You can view and photograph it on three levels. Just off I-95 near Freeport, and well worth a visit.

Harbor Details, Maine

Harbor Rope, Maine

If you find a working harbor, you can usually find some interesting elements to photograph. In Maine, this can include lobster pots as well as rope and floats.

How can you tell if it is a working harbor? It doesn’t have a Starbucks Coffee.

Golden Ferns, Maine

In the fall. there are great sweeps of golden ferns, in coastal Maine woodlands. I think this is Ostrich fern, Dryopteridaceae matteuccia. If anyone can confirm or correct, please do.
