Early Morning on Jordan Pond.
The sun is just beginning to rise over a placid Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park on a beautiful cool morning. The fall colors are giving one last gasp of color before changing over for the season. At the far end of the pond the Bubbles can be seen overlooking the oligotrophic tarn. Oligotrophic tarn is the classification given to Jordan Pond due to its lack of nutrients for aquatic life, as well as its deep, crystal clear, waters. Jordan Pond is one of the iconic Acadia National Park views. The Bubbles have been photographed over and over again from this locale. It's not hard to see why this spot is so beloved in the park. The mountain peaks of Pemetic to the right, and Penobscot to the left, provide a natural frame to the North and South Bubbles at the head of the pond. Jordan Pond is a distinct feature in Acadia, and well worth photographing. The prior evening we hiked the Bubbles for sunset, and I can't wait to share those photos soon.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
After shooting another location for sunset, I hustled to Jordan Pond to see if there was any color left. It was at least twenty minutes after sunset when I arrived, so it was a mad scramble to walk to the lake and find a suitable composition. Thankfully, the wind had died down enough for decent reflection.
We bought three tickets that were in the Georgia section.... but Cory and Michael preferred that we sit with there friend King. This turned out to be a good thing for them. Sitting in a triumphant vistor's section might have ruined out relationship.

Although Jordan lacks the significant attractions to support mass tourism, I still highly recommend it to experience authentic working-class life in Hong Kong. The roads are still coloured with delightful neon, and the streets feel alive. Jordan is relatively affordable for locals, has a diverse cultural flavour, and the night markets are mouthwatering.

As is tradition when the first major winter storm of the season lines up for the midwest, here's a groin-grabbingly cold shot from the archives.
A GP40 and Jordan Spreader work west as a ground blizzard (where snow already on the ground blows around and causes trouble) in north-central Iowa begins to subside; strong northerly winds shut down the roads and railroads alike - the interstates opened just in time that morning for me to make the trek down from the Twin Cities.

Camels are gorgeous; discuss.
I’m going to say no, but I know some people thing otherwise.
If you’re one of the people who think ‘yes’, then head off to Petra, as there are plenty of them there, all with varying degrees of beauty.
In other news, how is it Christmas already? You can expect the usual daily posts from me over this festive period, but when they go out depends largely on what time I get up and force myself out of bed. If it’s before the Queen’s speech I’ll be proud of myself.
