Acadia National Park


Well.., so this memorial weekend we had our long awaited camping-plan at Acadia national park, which is situated at northeast part of Maine and off the Atlantic Ocean. I had heard about it thru my friend when he had visited there few years back and showed me few snaps...! So the plan was long due and in the end it turned out a memorable event! We drove on Friday evening from B’more to NYC, picked up our first buddy, had dinner there and headed to New Hampshire the whole night, crashed down at another pal’s place…and next morning we all continued remaining part of the journey and thennn…..next 3 days full fun time!

Acadia National Park is one of the most beautiful and enchanting natural places on the North American continent. Mountains, islands and ocean combine in a unique sensory splendor that has become the crown jewel of Maine and all of America. Rocky coastlines, Granite Mountains, lakes and ponds, moss and evergreen, crashing waves and abundant wildlife mix with local character and seafood in this magical place. Borders of the park are accented by picturesque harbor villages. Apart from camping, camp fire, roaming at late night in pitch dark, playing never ending cric game and then sea-soccer, making tea at sea shore, n getting up at 3-30 am to see the sun rise as it is the first place to see it in united state; other memorable event was having an Ostrich for lunch. I tried Ostrich meat first time in my life and I tell you it is yummy-mouthwatering, leaner red meat dish…so better you hurry all enthu souls...;)

On the whole, it was a wonderful road trip and all who enjoy exploring nature should definitely give your best shot to visit this park...!!

I like the translucent nature of the leaves and how you can see the other leaves through them. Very nice colors.

Wow! A beautiful shot. You obviously know how to use your camera (unlike me!) You could frame this one!

Excellent shot. You have used light nicely through the leaves highlighting transluscency. Good composition and colour combination too. Keep it up.
