At The Edge Of Morning, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA
Long before sunrise, we made our way over the granite shoreline of Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine, arriving in the darkness to photograph one of the first places in the United States to greet the morning sun.

Floating On The Wave, Marble Canyon, Arizona, USA
