Bar Harbor, Fourth of July




The Fourth of July is a big event in Bar Harbor. Early morning blueberry pancakes, late morning parade, afternoon seafood festival and evening fireworks. I saw the fireworks. Parking on this day is at a premium. We walked about six blocks for the fireworks. I was under the understanding that they set them off from a barge out in Frenchman's Bay but when I walked down closer they were setting them up from the end of the pier. Maybe the steady light rain had something to do with that. We found shelter under the Quarterdecks second story deck to get out of the rain. From there all I needed was a tripod and long exposures. Fireworks are cool.
