The ridge with the turbines can be just barely be seen from the top of Cadillac Mountain where I took the picture with 20x zoom and later upped the contrast. The turbines are over 40 miles away on Bull Hill in East Hancock. I can't believe that people who argued against them thought it would ruin the view from Cadillac. The mountains in the bottom shot are the western mountains seen from Robbins Hill lookout near Solon. We rode up there looking for fall color, but didn't find much.
We were in Acadia last Sunday because my cousin Ellen Claire's cruise ship docked in Bar Harbor for a few hours. We swooped her and her friend up, had lunch with tea and popovers on the lawn at Jordan Pond House, did Cadillac and had them back to their ship on time.

Melissa will be working in this cool building which is the L. C. Bates Museum at Goodwill-Hinkley. Her family has a long history with Hinkley; her mother and brother did stints on the board there. The campus is hundreds of acres and is now shared by a charter school called the Maine Academy of Natural Sciences, and a branch of a community college. Melissa will do programming for kids. She already does something similar at Thor-Nox a farm garden thing attached to our local school.
