Bar Harbor(Maine) Sunset

(C) 2019 Photograph Dale DiMauro

One evening during my vacation in Maine, I hurried down to catch the sunset. During low tide, if you are lucky enough, to catch the sunset in good weather, the walk along the beach to Bar Island can be spectacular. 

Recently, tourists have become foolish enough to drive out by the edge of the island. Before long the tide moves in and your automobile is under water. In addition, this blatant disrespect for the natural environment ruins the experience for other people, including children playing along the beach.

As you can see this area is home to dramatic sunsets at this time of year with the changing light and ever moving shoreline, lapping at your feet. 

It is not difficult to imagine a watercolor derived from this photograph. With the natural patterns of the waves in the foreground and the vibrant washes of oranges and blues in the sky, the landscape takes on greater meaning.
