Otterkliffen

I’ve been to Acadia a half dozen times and never noticed how the spruce line meets the shore until this shot—the contrast is exactly what I remember, just wetter and wilder. It’s now sitting on my desk, and every glance pulls me right back to that salty breeze.

The rounded pebbles on this section of Acadia coastline are incredibly satisfying to walk over, and the contrast against the deep green spruce forest makes it feel almost surreal. I ended up staying way longer than planned just watching the waves roll in. Really glad I bought this.

The spruce trees pressing right up against the surf is a sight I didn't expect to love this much, and the contrast with those smooth, rounded pebbles makes the whole coastline feel alive. Every time I look at this, I'm back on that windswept trail, hearing the water.
