Hermit Island, Maine

Sunset from Hermit Island

We spent 5 of our 11 nights of vacation tent camping on Hermit Island in Maine. This island is technically a peninsula as it is attached to but it sounds more exotic to say we were camping on an island.

Our campsite was very secluded up on Joe’s Head, not right on a beach but right on the cliffs over looking it.

The original thought was that we might do some sight seeing from this base (maybe a trip up to Bar Harbor) but once we got there we only left to find food each evening. What a beautiful place.

Turns out I took 400+ photos over the 12 days. Gotta love digital.

It’ll take a while for me to sort them out. I normally take raw format images (mine are .NEF files as I have a nikon slr camera) but most of these are large jpgs as I didn’t want to buy a bunch of new flash cards before leaving. As usual as soon as I pull up the jpgs in photoshop I’m frustrated they aren’t raw format. It never pays to be cheap. Next time I’m investing a more gigabytes before I go.

    Thanks Charmaine. It was beautiful and I don’t think my pictures come close to doing it justice.

    It was amazing - I’d definitely go back if there weren’t so many other places I’d like to see also. We were up at the end on Joe’s head - I can’t recall the site number - maybe 12N? But I could just be making that up.

    Hermit Island is the most wonderful place on the earth. I am acually planning a wedding there this June 16. All campers are invited.
