Cobscook Bay State Park, Maine

Lobster Boat Bottom Cleaning

Yesterday was a kick back day at our campsite in Cobscook Bay State Park near Lubec, Maine. It is the most beautiful park Carol and I have ever visited. Today's post is all about black and white. Some times a subject just asks to be done in black and white like the white lobster boat high and dry for maintenance. This is easy given the 24 foot tide drop this far down east.

Here was another subject that started out fairly monochromatic and looked nice finished as a duo tone.

Falling Tide

This picture was taken twenty yards down from our campsite. We watched the scene change every hour as the tide went through its 24 foot range. At high tide the peninsula with the grove becomes an island and the driftwood in the foreground is underwater. At the lowest tide eight more rocks become uncovered. It's an amazing scene. This picture had lots of color but I like the black and white. Carol voted for the color version below.
