Old New England

Cadillac Mountain at sunset, top to bottom = left to right






Everything out here is that splendid. It's unreal.  It...actually kind of freaks me out. Like, even the shitty run down parts are run down in a way that lends itself to postcards.

Here's the really surreal thing about it though- everytime I stop to survey the vast glory of nature, I hear the soft, tender click of high end digital cameras crescendoing in the background. Out of frame of this panorama is a couple dozen middle age couples wearing new North Face fleece, looking through the veiwfinders on tripod mounted Nikons. And it's like that all over. We were driving back to the cabin a couple days ago near sundown from out in the middle of nowhere (more on that later), only to come up to a bridge populated with a literal bus load of photo hungry tourists, lined up like the world's least intimidating firing squad.

Anyway.
