Shore Drive-Thunder Hole- Sunday Afternoon March 10, 2013


Driving toward Mount Desert Island Sunday afternoon, I noticed that the Blue Hill Bay as well as the Frenchman Bay waters were calm. After parking on Shore Drive I saw giant swells sweeping in on the shore and crashing against the pink granite ledges and boulders. My guess was there must have been an off shore storm riding the high  tide to the shore in Acadia National Park.

Over the next couple of hours I took 66 scenic photographs with my Samsung Galaxy 3 as I had left my Nikon D-200 at home. The above picture is a panoramic shot including part of Thunder Hole.



Walking along the path was exhilarating to hear the crushing ocean waves crash on the shore.
In this picture you  are looking eastward toward Thunder Hole.




The combination of  winter snow and  crashing surf high lighted the cliffs looking south.




Here is a near duplicate picture of the one above, I liked so much I thought I would add it to this series.



Walking eastward I captured this scene of beach stones washed ashore years ago...maybe hundreds of years ago. 




Another panoramic view of Thunder Hole.



The shutter on the Galaxy III is some what slow to react. I managed to capture this image by watching the incoming swells and anticipating  its crashing in the Hole.
Thanks for viewing my pictures. I may add a few more later.
