It is the middle of the week and half-way through my virtual adventure. And somewhat amazed at what you can "find" out there...both at the library and online. Am getting a bit quicker at the video-capture (capturing images as you watch a film/documentary of an area you're exploring...and it does have the same feel as photography after a while. No backing up a film...if I miss the shot..well I missed the shot.
Still on part of the Acadia adventure...I was quick enough to catch this guy.
Also checked out the Precipice...which had a high clench factor even on video. I couldn't have done this climb on my very best day...okay?
At 1,058 feet with almost vertical granite walls...and iron climbing rungs marking The Precipice Trail...that would be no...possibly even hell no. You Tube has some amazing footage of the trail from top to bottom by people who not only climbed it...but packed a video-camera while they were doing it. National Geographic needs you guys :)
Also took a peek at Bear Cave...and enjoyed a trek down to The Old Sea Cave off Schooner Road.
Today's trek was to Portland Head Lighthouse. Incredible place really. Oldest lighthouse in Maine...commissioned by George Washington himself! Maybe the place that has made me always want to see Maine.
Anyway through the magic of the Internet was able to not only see it inside and out and a brief fun video of scuba-diving just off the headland- but also able to head the sound of those giant breakers...and the foghorn...and even capture a bit of the lighthouse at night...which provides a beacon in the Atlantic over 26 miles.
And my favorite...the night shots...
And the Underwater adventure
Which can lead to only one possible outcome...a trip to the market tomorrow and "Lobstah Rolls" for "dinnah". Face it, folks. Ya gotta have a plan!
Popped by the Portland Head Lighthouse gift shop before calling it a day...and unlike the REAL one...the online store is open 24-7.
So without further adieu...
