I live on the coast of Maine so if I want to see great color in the sky it generally means a 4am wake up call to make the drive to a coastal location to watch the sun come up over the ocean. For me it's a real treat to watch the sun set at 7 pm at an amazing location like White Pocket in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument area here in northern Arizona desert.
Portland Head Lighthouse, Fort Williams, Cape Elizabeth, Maine. How do you get a unique image of an icon? Make your images when nobody is watching. It will take some special maneuvering to make your way into the PHL at night but in this event I was rewarded with a spectacular view of the Milky Way rising over one of America's most historic lighthouses.
The sun rises over Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, Maine. During the fall and winter months, those who brave the howling winds and frigid temps at Cadillacs' peak are rewarded with the first touch of the suns light in America. If you decide to see it for yourself, come prepared. Dress warm and expect crowds bigger than you would reasonable expect for an experience that requires a pre dawn wake-up call and a winding drive around the mountain.
