Description

I stopped at the center of Somesville on my recent trip to Maine Acadia National Park to photograph the iconic white wooden bridge that forms a beautiful arch over a tiny pond. Morning light works best here and it is famous for pictures in the fall. On my trip home I noticed that the Somesville Historical Society honored Memorial Day by hanging an American Flag across the bridge. As it was overcast I decided to head back at twilight to capture the entire scenery after sunset. I am sure there will be an American Flag hanging of the 1780 Somesville Selectman's Building and its historic bridge blowing in the wind on the 4th of July as well. This fine art photography image is available on canvas, acrylic, metal or standard fine art prints, framed, matted, print only.

Somesville in Maine is the oldest settlement on Mount Desert Island near Acadia National Park. The picturesque little village is located at the northern end of Somes Sound which is often referred to as a fjord. In Somesville photographers and painters find gorgeous scenery including beautiful views of Somes Sound, its inlets, and the mountains to the east. Somesville is also home to the Acadia Repertory Theatre and one of its main attractions.

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
