Embracing Light : A Year in Acadia National Park & Mount Desert Island

A photographic journey in Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island over the course of a year as the seasons transitioned

Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island are visited by over two million tourists every vacation season, but few know what the island and park are like during the rest of the year, the quiet season. For over a year, author and landscape photographer Scott Erskine explored the park daily, embracing the available light, capturing the experience of the moment, as he felt it.

On blue-sky days, in storms, hurricanes, and blizzards, on winter nights on silent beaches, and in extreme cold, images and experiences were gathered, to be later shared. The work in this book represents a very personal and deep-felt intimacy with the park and the island that can evolve only by completely immersing oneself into the rhythm and flow of the land and sea, and then using all of his craft to express this deep love, his soul, that belongs to Acadia.
