The long view

Frenchman's Bay, from the summit of  Cadillac Mountain, in Acadia National Park, Maine. The town below is Bar Harbor, a major tourist center, cruising-ship port and the home of the College of the Atlantic. Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the U.S. coast between Canada to Mexico.

"So might a Chinese sage have seen the world,

seen mist and humpbacked islands from a mountain,

with a hawk hanging in a silver sky.''

-- The start of Elizabeth Coatsworth's "From Cadillac Mountain''
