Picnic
Made by NatashaRuz
This picture was taken during the two or three hour window where we had sunlight the whole time we were gone! Mt. Battie overlooks the Camden harbour and the views are spectacular. Our day to get to Mt. Battie was last Monday. 9am-trip 1 = Cloudy in town. Got there and it was so damn foggy we couldn't see two feet in front of us. 1pm - trip 2 = Sunny in town. Got up to the top, and the fog was still thick. Couldn't see 10 feet in front of us. 4pm - trip 3 = Sunny in town. Gloriously sunny on top of Mt. Battie. I'm psyched and turn to the back of the car to get my camera......it's not there. It's at the hotel room. Words can't convey how pissed off I was. I mean truly pissed off. I stomped my feet, I cursed, I 'grrrrrrred', I pouted..... We got back in the car, and my much adored husband says Honey, let's go to the hotel, get the camera and come back. You still have plenty of light.. 4:30pm - Trip 4. Success! These girls were having a picnic overlooking the bay. I thought they were having soup, but as it turns out, they were enjoying bowls of cereal and milk. :)

Camden Hills State Park is located in the Megunticook Mountain Range on the shore of Penobscot Bay. Recognizing the special features of this area, the National Park Service acquired nearly 5,000 acres of this range in the 1930's. In cooperation with the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Park Service built the Camden Hills Recreation Development Area during the late 1930's and early 1940's. Since 1947, the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands has administered the area now known as Camden Hills State Park, one of Maine's most popular parks. travel.yahoo.com/p-parks-217011-camden_hills_state_park-i

Maine andalusite crystals
Made by Jeff Goddard 32
We found a deposit of these in the ancient bedrock about 800' up Mt Megunticook. Their size, conical shape, and what appeared to be a siphuncle running down the middle of the cones made us think orthocones, a group of nautiloid cephalopods that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. We later found out that they are actually unusual crystals formed during metamorphism. But not being a geologist, I still can't help but wonder if these crystals might mark what had been orthocone fossils, now completely reshaped and replaced by other minerals...

Pop-Up Bliss. Camden Hills State Park, Maine
Made by Horseshoot
Played around with more redscale this weekend. This photo is my wife, laying in our new to us (but old, actually) pop-up camper. We were at Camden State Park in Maine. The camera is a Minolta SRT 303. The film is reversed Rite-Aid film (which I have been told is Fuji). ISO is 400, and I shot it at ISO 50.

Mount Battie view in Autumn

Pretty stock vantage from Mount Battie down into Camden, with a good bit of October leaves coloring the foreground. This overlook is at the top of the Mount Battie Auto Road and hiking trails in Camden Hills State Park.

Mt. Megunticook view

Taken on an early warm day in April 2005 from the ocean lookout on Mount Megunticook, peering over the Mount Battie auto road and summit, and down to the succession of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland harbors.

Coastline from Bald Rock

Regional Haze, as it were, obscures what should be an amazing view of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland Harbors from Bald Rock on the northeast end of Camden Hills State Park. September 2006.

Fairy Fog

Camden Hills State Park, Camden, ME. Was very, very humid and foggy down to the coast that day and the light through the trees and fog gave these picnic tables an otherworldly look.

TGIF!!!! This is an IR shot of the top of Mt. Battie in Camden, Maine. I think they filmed some movies here a long time ago. Not sure of which one. Is it happy hour yet?

Camden

Looking down on Camden from Mt. Battie in Camden Hills State Park. Despite the small size of Candem, an impressive number of sailboats were anchored in the harbor.

Mt. Battie and downtown Camden in the distance. Much of our vacation time was clouded over or fogged in, we were lucky to get this much of a view.
