Busy Harbor in Rockland with cruise ships

Rockland has been alive this week with people from a couple of 2500 passenger cruise ships.

Color is lacking for this time of year

Today I traveled up Mt. Battie to see how the foliage really looked in the Camden and surrounding area. By now the colors should be brilliant, they are, however, much less than stellar!

Camden Harbor from Mt. Battie

Saturday afternoon the town of Camden was packed wall to wall with people, my least favorite kind of place to be. So I thought let's see what it looks like from Mt. Battie today.

Out & About — A walk around Camden

Went to Camden Friday morning and walked around  acting like a tourist. It was fun, taking photos I thought a tourist might take on their journey to Camden, Me.

Out & About — Rockland Harbor and downtown

Went on a nearly 3-mile walk today around the harbor and through downtown seeing what drew my attention.

The water out a ways and the sky was just beautiful this afternoon.

Out & About - The Calm Before the Storm

CAMDEN — After traveling to Owls Head and nothing much calling to me to photograph, I headed to Camden Harbor for some shots before the tourist season kicks off Monday with Memorial Day.
