There is something mysteriously calming about fog and when you combine it with wharves and boats, especially if you have just a little light kissing the top of the water from the morning sun, that gives an even more special feel. This scene met us as we arrived in Round Pond Harbour yesterday. It was the start of a lovely day of exploring the coastline with my friend Carol who is a local and knew all the best places to show me. I'm looking forward to more exploring before we have to leave this beautiful area.

+Ursula Klepper oh, don't get me wrong! The smell was wonderful!
+Linda Jess thank you, it really was.
+Leonardo Hervacio Arenas thanks
Oh I would have guest that the air is better at the seaside, but perhaps too many fishes and smells from the fishing boats around…
It is a nice time of day with the bright colors in the foreground and mist on the horizon.
Cute!
Thanks for that info, Lynn. I look forward to the story when you get around to telling it. +Lynn David Newton
The more memorable features of Campobello are the Roosevelt house (for tourists), the pristine forest (1500 acres I think) on the south end, the harbor up at the north end, coming in off the Bay of Fundy, and above all (to me), the lighthouse at the north end. I've got a story about my first visit there that maybe someday I'll relate.
Thanks +Lynn David Newton – yes, I can just imagine that! I have now looked up Campobello and it is on my wishlist to visit. I have never been. Can't go on this trip, though as we are going up through Quebec on the way home, visiting family. Another time, perhaps when the ferry starts again so we don't have to do the customs / immigration thing. That is becoming nothing but a hassle.
I really like this view,very atmospheric
Nice. When I moved to Searsport, Maine, in 1976, it was with the hope of staying in the area permanently. It didn't work out, but in the 18 months I lived on the coast I did get around and visit a lot of places. Never saw Round Pond Harbour, though. I was often in Camden and Rockport, but not often much beyond that — mostly points further up the coast and inland. Have you ever visited Campobello, NB, across a narrow tide rip from Lubec? The place took my breath away. Lots of history on that island, too. (The summer home of FDR's family as he grew up.) There's now an international park there.
+Susanne Stelle you are right! You need absolutely nothing else. Thanks very much, Susanne.
+Magy Duarte I felt I had been given a gift when I saw that fog that morning, I agree, Magy. Thanks so much.
Fog, boats, harbour….. what else do you need ? Wonderful +Ellie Kennard
I love pictures with fog, wonderful capture my friend :))
+Christina Lihani thank you. That means a lot. 😘
I also fall in love with your words +Ellie Kennard. I have words too…but I use them so rarely these last many years.
+Sumit Sen thank you, Sumit. The framing was what I worked for, I'm glad you saw it too.
+Christina Lihani thanks a lot. We must have similar tastes as that gets to me as well. ☺
+Dylan Johnson I have had some wonderful moments in life with fog and ships. It's a special kind of still, sometimes. Thanks a lot, Dylan.
+Ursula Klepper thanks so much for that. I liked the lines and tried to frame some elements in them as I could. The trouble is that the boats moved around slowly all the time, in and out of my framing. But I was happy with what I managed to get. The smell was intoxicating, all salty and you could almost taste the iodine in the air.
Lovely frame!
Oh… this is so very beautiful! Love the mix of sun and mist so much!
I've never experienced fog with ships, but I agree, fog is definetly calming. Well shot!
This is a great image Ellie, you have lots of lines here and I love the feel of depth through the misty background. Very nice!
