collection. We were fortunate enough to observe the colors of the sunset on this fine
Maine summer day. Maine's scenery makes for ideal, almost surreal, sunsets. It is hard
for the mind to fully grasp the visual impact of everything it is taking in. The breakwater
consists of nearly a mile of huge pink granite stones harvested from Maine, and who
knows how deeply they are stacked in order to reach the ocean floor. A beautiful
lighthouse behind you by which sailboats are calmly cruising; the awesome Camden hills
just up the Maine coast in front of you; and the Owls Head peninsula behind you showing
off its own impressive lighthouse. The Maine wildlife was flying above and swimming in
the waters that were nearly 360 degrees around us. And all this beauty was saturated
with the pastel colors of a beautiful Maine sunset. The impact of these sights and the
effect they had on the soul cannot be overstated.
