Sunrise at Boulder Beach, Acadia National Park, Maine by John S

Nestled between Otter Cliff and Monument Cove in Acadia National Park is this gem of a beach strewn with rocks of all shapes and sizes. The rock surfaces have been smoothed through years of erosive actions of wind and water and make for an excellent foreground for landscape or astro photography. On this day, the weather wasn’t entirely cooperative. There were heavy clouds all through the night and low lying clouds at the horizon during sunrise. The sun had a hard time peaking through the clouds to light up the sky. But the glow from the horizon did cast a great reddish glow on the rocks in the foreground. The little snow accumulation from the overnight sprinkling added just the perfect counter to the warm tones on the rocks.
