colour at Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park

** Another shot in Acadia National Park this is an image of Jordan Pond in the centre of the Park. English readers please note that this pond is somewhat larger than the village ponds we are used to. This was the first time on the trip that we saw some wonderful tree colours, which from this point became the dominant motif of the trip.

I enjoyed Acadia but I guess for me it was much less impressive and memorable than the National Parks that I have visited in the Western USA. It did not have their epic scale or the amazing variety of colours shapes and textures. In Acadia I could have been in England a mixture of the Cornish coastline and the Lake District. Though the autumn colour was a delight to see. This is not meant to be critical of Acadia its merely a personal observation. Once again my thanks to the men and women of Americas National Park Service who do a great job protecting these special places.

 

 

My sympathy goes out to the innocent victims of yet another American tragedy. I only wish something would change as a result but I am pretty sure nothing will. If this had been a Muslim it would have been described as terrorism that quite properly needed an urgent and vigorous response. However the perpetrator this time was a white American so it’s just a mental health issue. It is very strange how the most powerful country in the world is seemingly impotent in protecting Americans from bring harmed by other Americans.

 

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
