View from Sand Beach at low tide
[Overcast day with small cruise ship at sea and two people at water's edge past all the sand.]

View from Park Loop Road at low tide
(Note the people--speck of red--on the rock.)
[Rocky, irregular coast with shrubbery in foreground and ocean in background.]

Closer view of low tide shoreline
[Two photos stitched together to show the reddish orange, rocky coast on left with ocean on right.]

Seawall view at low tide
[Multiple photos stitched together showing exposed shore with many tide pools. To the right is lighter colored rock and some trees.]

One of the tide pool's contents
[Fine, stringy greenish growth floating atop the water surrounded by larger rocks.]

Rock and sea growth in another part of the island exposed by low tide.
[Dark, carpet-like growth on rocks just above the waterline.]

Ship Harbor outlet at low tide
[Shallow water inlet from the ocean on middle left flowing to lower right of frame. Lots of visible stones in the water. Evergreens seen on shorline to the upper right.]

Ship Harbor inlet at low tide (Not sure any ships could enter even at high tide!)
[Water flows from lower left to pool-like setting in middle right. Trees seen on far shore with a large rocky expanse seen on near shore. Lots of stones along the water's edge.]

Low tide exposes what the ocean washes ashore. This may have been part of a dock.
[Lots of large pinkish rocks on the shore with a grey wooden structure atop it that resembles fence posts connected with a top and bottom rail.]

Thunder Hole walkway at high tide
[Walkway, with railings all around, leading to a rock jutting into the ocean.]

Shoreline at high tide
[Lots of wave and water action near the shoreline rocks.]

Very rough and misty that day at high tide
[Tree trunks visible in foreground with misty rocks and water in background.]

Otter Cove seen from the top of Cadillac Mountain.
[Water inlet to Mount Desert Island with an earth bridge across the water approximately one third of the way from furthest inland point. Many trees still not yet with leaves.]

Otter Cove seen from the beach.
[The mountains rise high around the cove with many green evergreens on the hillside and many bare spots which are probably trees waiting for leaves to appear. There is a flat section of land prior to the rise of the hills.]
