During the long winter time, we might feel that there is just not enough sun to offset the darkness. For a bit of balance, today’s post is all about sunrise, and a very early one at that. During the summer of 2021, I joined John Slonina for a short tour of Acadia National Park in the great state of Maine. The park is situated on Mount Desert Island, which is the largest island off the coast of Maine. It is an amazing place to visit any time of year. Among the many sights, there is the sunrise view from Cadillac Mountain, which is the earliest sunrise in the country from October 7 to March 6.
Let’s take a look at a sunrise in June…
You have to get up really early for the sunrise in June. Getting up at 2:30am, we found our spot on the mountain before 4:00am. I took close to 200 exposures of different phases of the sunrise, ranging from pre-dawn to well past sunrise.
This particular image was captured at 5:50am, as the cloud cover started getting more definition. I will definitely feature more images from this series.
