Description
Picture perfect Maine mountain view photography of the granite coastline and seascape at Sand Beach and Great Head in Acadia National Park, Maine. I implemented the evergreens into the composition as a foreground feature leading the viewer to Sand Beach and the Cliffs of Great Head. The trees also convey some sort of scale and hint a story of a strenuous ladder trail hikes up to the scenic overlook. This coastal photo is now available on canvas, acrylic, metal or standard fine art prints, framed, matted, print only.
Sand Beach is not a typical New England beach. Its only 300 yards in size which is not that unusual but it being hemmed in on both ends by tall pink granite cliffs makes it stand out. In addition a small tidal creek cut through the beach, opening up beautiful views to a picturesque hill named The Beehive and on the other end bordering Great Head. Great Head rises above the Atlantic Ocean and the cliffs of Great Head offer several great viewpoints with the drama of crashing waves below.
Acadia National Park is a National Park located in the U.S. state of Maine. It reserves much of Mount Desert Island, and associated smaller islands, off the Atlantic coast. Originally created as Lafayette National Park in 1919, the first National Park East of the Mississippi, it was renamed Acadia in 1929. The park is one of the most visited wildlife areas in the United States and a paradise for every photographer and outdoor enthusiast. The park loop road provides easy access to many of the iconic photography subjects, such as Monument Cove, The Beehive, Sand Beach, Jordan Pond and the Bubbles, Bubble Pond, Otter Cliff to name only a few. The carriage roads and hiking trails provide further access to more remote locations where the park continues to inspire and unfolds its full magic. It is a heaven for macro, seascape, and landscape photography that makes for great wall art decoration. Especially sunrise and the light of the golden hours paint the sky in beautiful blue and orange and brings out the beauty of the pink granite rocks.
Good light and happy photo making!
My best,
Juergen
