Far from the Madding Crowd
Sunset at Schoodic Point (Schoodic Peninsula) Acadia National Park, Maine. Taken on 12 August 2014.
The Schoodic Peninsula is where one finds the more tranquil part of the Acadia National Park (which covers over 2,000 acres of the peninsula). We spent a relaxed afternoon exploring the area and hiking on Alder, Schoodic Head and Anvil Trails, a total of 2.3-mile fairly easy trek. As the sun was slowly setting, we feasted on our packed sandwiches. A pair of porpoises swam by and a flock of female Eider ducks settled down on the granite rocks.
