The weather during our stay in Acadia was far
from ideal. It was so heavily clouded that we even worried that it might be
raining. Most of the pictures we took looked dead and lack the azure
we expected. However,
the big surprise was waiting for us at sea..
This was taken when we just departed. The only
positive comment I could have about the picture was probably
that the shape of the clouds was characteristic.
Yet it began to turn around as the sun approaching
the horizon. When the sun finally broke off the clouds, the sky suddenly became
a canvas waiting to be painted.

The surface of the sea, although not smoothly
textured, reflected the sun like dozens of diamonds.

The setting sun was hiding behind the islands
(as our ship moved) for a brief moment.

The color of the sky kept changing moment by
moment just like kaleidoscope.
