Lily Bay State Park

Flint Clifts
Mount Kineo, Moosehead Lake, Maine

Yesterday was our last day on Moosehead Lake so we decided to take a five hour cruise on the SS Katahdin, a lake passenger and cargo steam ship from early in the last century. It was a beautiful day but the cruise was mid day so the sun was harsh for photography. We had one good opportunity when the ship cruised within 20 yards of the cliffs of Mount Kineo. The water is 100 feet deep right up to the rocks. Carol saw the above cliff with a natural bonsai pine and lichen creating a nice picture.

Glorious Sunset

Lily Bay on Moosehead Lake, Maine

After the cruise and dinner we headed back to our campsite. The sun was beginning to set so we headed for the park beach. I have shot many sunsets and don't usually get the camera out if the late light is not highlighting some features away from the setting sun. As you can see this was different. The show was amazing and grand in scale. This picture was taken with a super wide angle lens (14mm) and the sky was clearly the show. We waited until the show finished and the lights dimmed. All we could say was, "Thank you."
