Beautiful hike around the lake in Acadia National Park. Fall 2018.
Beautiful hike around the lake in Acadia National Park. Fall 2018.
A crowd of beach go-ers enjoy the summer sun in Acadia National Park, Maine, USA. Being from the south, we thought it was too cold to swim in the ocean so we opted for a hike instead. Luckily, we stumpled upon a freshwater lake on our hike that was a bit warmer than the ocean. The view over the beach was amazing! #waterlust
First day in Acadia National Park
I was so lucky to get this shot. Battled traffic and had a short run to get there just as the sun set. Just missed the best light but still came away with this. It's an iconic location but with light like this how could I not take the iconic shot? #Golden
