Postcards from Mount Desert Island

On our first night in Southwest Harbor, I was relaxing in the hot tub when I saw beautiful light in the sky. I raced down to the dock, dripping in swimsuit and towel, to catch a colorful sunset: 

By the time I made it down there, the sky and sea were less dramatic but still beautiful, like a fire opal. No color correction for these photos:

I was glad to see the usual number of dinghies at the town mooring. There were very few boats earlier in the summer.
