Video on Flickr of porcupine scurrying away (also in that album).

A little north of Acadia National Park lies the Great Pond Mountain, which would be a fantastic place for likely both sunrise and set. I was just a touch late for the sunrise, which meant perfect timing for seeing a porcupine scrounging for breakfast. Views of Acadia were unfortunately under the fog.

Looking south from Great Pond Mountain, Acadia National park is covered in fog.

Fog rolls through the lowlands of Maine.
