Unfortunately for some of you, I never get tired of this view. I take a series of images of it each month for an historical archive and usually show at least one here. This was taken in yesterday’s slight haze.

What you see in the foreground is a rocky field and a stand of trees and brush on the east coast of Brooklin’s Naskeag Peninsula, a place we call Amen Ridge because it is adjacent to Amen Farm. Next, you see Blue Hill Bay and several of its islands.

Then, a roughly estimated 11 miles away (as the crow flies) from the Ridge, is large Mount Desert Island. The southern face of its Cadillac Mountain is looming there and we note that its snow has mostly disappeared.

Mount Cadillac is part of the wonderful 42,000-acre Acadia National Park, all of which is open to the public now 24 hours a day. However, social distancing is required and the visitor centers and other buildings are closed until April 15. (Brooklin, Maine)
