The skies of August are full of cloud forms. On a fine summer day, they peacefully drift overhead like sheep looking for pasture. But they can form into violent rain and thunder storms without much warning. Click on the image for a larger view.

Last Light
Mt. Cadillac casting its shadow over Mt. Desert Island and Acadia National Park at the end of a summer’s day. Schoodic Peninsula can be seen near the horizon. Click on the image for a larger view.

Summer Skyscapes
I am not sure it is because you are no longer keeping your head down in your winter coat, but summer skies seem to be so more dynamic in Maine. This time of year the weather can be unsettled with storms quickly forming and dissipating, some even before they can drop their harvest of rain. Click on the image for a larger view.
Schoodic Point, Part 5
Schoodic Point terminates in the Atlantic Ocean. Even on calm days, the water looks perilous. But a magical transformation of the water and sky takes place at the end of the day. And on this day, either the humidity in the air or the fog on the water scored the horizon with a thin pale line. Click on the image for a larger view.
Schoodic Point, Part 3
Like Otter Cliffs on Mount Desert Island, Schoodic Point is a rocky coastline made of huge slabs of sedimentary rock. Fissures far from the ocean fill with rain water, which turns black over time. Click on the image for a larger view.
Schoodic Point, Part 1
Schoodic Point is part of Acadia National Park. Being about an hour away from Mount Desert Island and the main park area, it is a quiet place, even in the summer—Cadillac Mountain and Mount Desert Island can be seen on the horizon. Naomi and I took a trip out to the point this weekend. Typical for the weather on the Maine coast, it was something less than sunny. Click on the image for a larger view.
