Sunrise From Chick Hill

The not quite full moon behind me provides a glowing light for me to work by. The winds blow by like a freight train as I witness the days first light emerge from below the horizon.

Good Morning America

I had always thought that the peak of Mt Katahdin saw America's first light, but not according to the the people at the National Park office. Anyway, here is what I witnessed today.



These Kids were having a good time photographing each other and the sunrise.

Sunrise over Bangor

Good morning all. This is what I witnessed this morning. I just wish the camera could capture it as well as our eyes and mind can. Enjoy


"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
so dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."

Maine Wildlife

Here is something you won't see everyday, unless you live in the Bowerbank area.

This dosn't look real, but it is. This ox is one of many that resides in Bowerbank Maine. This massive animal can run fast and jump high and I found that you should not run in its presents. These seemed quite tame, but I was with the owners when I got up close. There are things you want to know before approaching these giants.

Its hair will grow to be about 10 inches long in the winter time.

Fall In Maine

Still trekking through the park, I captured this image. I like the way the colors and the silky smooth water contrast with one another.

Fall In Maine

Bar Harbor was just crawling with tourist from the two cruise ships that were moored in Frenchman's bay, so I was glad to be having my adventure in the park and away from the crowds.

Fall In Maine

Acadia National Park looks its best durning the fall when it is showing all the colors. Although my trip was a bit premature for peak color, I was able to find some color during my trek through the woods.

Painting With Light Extra

Wow, I thought I was done with this, but then I drove by this place. I do a lot of driving to a lot of places, now where did I see that? Hmmm! Anyway, Mr. Police Man, thanks for not taking me to jail.



Stupid me didn't give the police man a business card! Market, Market, Market!

Mt Katahdin

So yesterday I skipped out on work and went flying. (of course I still had to work when I got back). We caught the guy that does the crop circles and we also headed north to Mt. Katahdin. It is rare, in my experience, to be able to fly around the mountain as we did today. The winds really whip over the top and create some turbulence that is quite rough. Today we were lucky.

Maine

Today started out as any with a cup of coffee to start my day. I went to the lab, and ran some other errands finding myself back at my favorite coffee spot. I see my friend Chris (Greenie) and we do lunch at Brewsters. While there my friend Chris (Tennie) shows up wants to know if we wanted to go flying. So work for today was put on hold and we went flying.

While flying we did not see any crop circles, but caught who was doing them. He's in the photos below!





These were taken in Levant. Now memorize the path and head out and hope you remember correctly!

Dance of the Ghost Lady

This image was taken at 9:22 pm. My exposure was four minutes and thirty seconds with a whole bunch of exposures. I lost count. This image is also made up of six different images. Do you see those streaks in the sky? Could I be so lucky as to capture a metior shower?

The dancer in this image was in the Steven King Movie The Langoliers. She was the little girl at the end that says something like "daddy daddy look at the new people". Lucky for me I don't have to pay her royalties like the movie people do.


Back to the streaks in the sky. Those are actually star trails. That is how far the earth moved while I took the exposure. If you are good in math, let me know how far the earth moved during this exposure.

The Stone House

This image is of the ruins of a stone house in the middle of a blueberry field. It was taken at 11:48 pm during the full moon which is what you see behind the clouds and tree. My exposure was two minutes and seventeen seconds and it consists of four exposures during this time. The streaking in the clouds is the movement of the clouds during the exposure.



Of course it did not look like this when I was there. It was just very dark with only the moon lighting the way. I tripped, fell, ran into stuff, did I mention falling. The image made it worth every scrap, cut and bruise.

Trees

These trees were photographed in a Cemetery. You can make out a couple of stones in the back. It was taken at 10:06 pm and my exposure was two minutes and twenty six seconds and it consists of five images and 21 exposures. The red glow in the sky are the city lights which added to the image.

Dow Air Force Base

This image was taken out at the old Dow Air Force Base at 11:20 pm. My exposure was two minutes and nineteen seconds and consists of eight exposures. This is the first time I've done this type of exposure in over fifteen years. They do get better!

Rock Dox

If you’re a fan, you know...the Rock Dox are the band with the sound we remember and love. They’re five average guys, from salesmen to doctors, who miss the good rock and roll music of the 70s, 80s and 90s. "There is a hunger for our kind of music," says lead singer John Dickey. "Most of today’s music sounds the same. We’re bringing back rock and roll the way it should be." The Rock Dox now have two CDs under their belt, 2002's "Fully Medicated" and 2004's "House Call." The band continues to play to sell out crowds all over the Northeast.

If you’re a rock fan, you’ve likely been unhappy the last decade or so, as rap, metal and boy bands have dominated the charts. You are not alone. According to a recent article in Newsweek magazine, that so-called "garage rock" is making rock and roll cool again - and nobody knows it better than the Rock Dox. With a range of sound reminiscent of everything from Journey to Van Halen, with driving rhythm and top-shelf vocals, the Rock Dox take you back to the good old days in a whole new way. They’re five guys from every walk of life with one thing in common: they want rock back on a roll.

The Rock Dox were originally the brainchild of three local doctors – thus the name. Over the years the band has evolved to include singer John Dickey, guitarist Greg Beidelman, Dr. Hank Ford on bass, drummer Rich Newland, and Brian Mosher on keyboard and rhythm guitar.

These five guys, along with Justin on sound and Jarrod on lights, are spurring a rock revolution with "House Call." "We love to play with our audience, not at them," explained Hank. "We’re all part of the same party."
