Maine Coast: The Road to Castine
2018 - October... A 5-hr drive up the Maine Coast on our way to Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, Maine with one quick stop on Mount Battie in Camden.
Aurora Borealis - Stockton Springs, Maine - June 22-23, 2015
Between around 10pm and 2am June 22 and 23rd, the Maine sky was alive with purple spikes and glowing arcs and waves of green. Add to this phenomemon - known as aurora borealis or northern lights - fireflies darting about, a warm breeze, a visible moon and peepers chirping and it was a recipe for a perfect summer night. Timelapse images in first 18 seconds taken from Stockton Springs looking north to Prospect, Frankfort, Mt. Waldo and Bangor.
Note: I was out during the hours above taking these shots when I should have been home asleep resting and healing my injured back, so pardon the imperfections! Didn't want to miss this fantastic aurora for anything!
California to New York: A Complete Road Trip
This is a complete road trip compilation from Santa Monica, California to New York City over eight different days from June-September, 2017 - all recorded in time-lapse at 4fps (nearly 100,000 frames total). Of the 3,253 miles (5,235 kilometers) driven, about 3 miles of this drive is missing, mostly in Colorado near Poncha Springs. Nearly all of this drive was done in daytime, but there is about 10 minutes of this video done in darkness in Arizona (about 1:00:00 to 1:10:00). The weather was good for the most part, except from Pennsylvania all the way to the Bronx, before clearing up in Manhattan. This trip also includes driving through the solar eclipse of August 21 in Nebraska (at about 3:30:00), as well as driving over the old Tappan Zee Bridge in upstate NY, which permanently closed a month later with the opening of the new Mario M Cuomo Bridge adjacent to it.
The states passed through are
California (0:00:35-0:40:54)
Arizona (0:40:54-1:40:26)
New Mexico (1:40:26-1:41:09)
Colorado (1:41:09-3:07:17)
Nebraska (3:07:17-3:51:05)
Iowa (3:51:05-4:24:17)
Illinois (4:24:17-4:50:42)
Indiana (4:50:42-5:10:51)
Ohio (5:10:51-5:39:13)
West Virginia (5:39:13-5:40:48 & 5:47:09-5:51:52)
Pennsylvania (5:40:48-5:47:09 & 6:04:43-6:32:49)
Maryland (5:51:52-6:04:43)
New York (6:32:49-6:50:03)
The highest elevation of the drive was 11,539 ft (3,517 m) at 2:28:10. The highest elevation anywhere on the U.S. interstate system is 11,158 ft (3,401 m) at 2:33:41. Both of these elevations are two of the three continental divide crossings; the other, at 2:04:38 (10,856 ft / 3,309 m), is the first.
The hottest temperature of this trip was 110 F (43 C) in Needles, California (about 0:40:16), and the coldest temperature of this trip was 53 F (11 C) in Tusayan, Arizona (about 1:10:04) - only about 230 miles (370 km) from Needles.

Fort Point Lighthouse and Park
A visit to Fort Point Lighthouse and Park, in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, on the River Mersey. Liverpool is a little piece of heaven on the South Shore, with plenty to see and do. A visit to the lighthouse is a must. In the summer months souvenirs, arts and crafts are sold from the shop within the lighthouse. Climb to the top to enjoy the view, sound the horn. Take in the many historical photographs inside, listen to the stories told by the lighthouse attendant.
Outside the lighthouse there are many storyboards giving an account of the area's history, including much about the famous privateers, pirates licensed by the Crown to plunder American shipping. How times have changed! At the time of this video, the plants were just beginning to come into their own. In the height of the summer the gardens are alive with roses and other flowers. Locals are friendly and chatty, always happy to welcome and engage visitors in conversation. Like all of the South Shore of Nova Scotia, it is never crowded. The park here is one of the best spots for a lazy picnic.
