Hazy Summer Day at Acadia
Explore #94 on Feb. 2, 2013
Another Maine picture from the archives. Acadia National Park offers a spectacular view at every turn. Some parts of the park become incredibly crowded, especially in the summer months, but getting off of the "beaten path" is fairly easy, especially when starting the day early.
This was a hazy day that presented it's own beauty.
Added note: Many Flickr friends have commented on the name "Acadia", suggesting it should be "Arcadia". This is a common mistake. Here's a comment I made below to one of my Flickr friends:
""Acadia" was a province of "New France" in colonial days on the Eastern seaboard of Canada. The French of Acadia were later defeated by the British and many moved southward to Maine, and a large number to the Louisiana coast where their descendants still live, and they are known as "Cajuns". Quite surprisingly, my wife, the genealogist, has discovered that among my distant ancestors are French Canadians and Acadians.
