Bristol Peninsula (Page 2)

Further south on Rte 130 is New Harbor. This link is for a picture we took there in 2022. It looks chillier in January.

Looking across ice covered water, there are boats in a deeper unfrozen section.

You know it is cold when Anne wears "The Green Parka".

A person is standing with their back to us, and the legs of a tripod can be seen. They are looking at ice covering shallow water, with boats in the unfrozen section of the harbor. It is a sunny day.

We both had fun taking pictures of the ice here.

Rocks protrude through the ice, with broken shards at their sides.

A close look at the ice reveals many small air bubbles,

A view looking straight down at the ice broken around a rock makes it look like a barnacle.

This scene has many rocks sticking out of ice.

The sun shines on smooth sections of the ice, while the less reflective sections create little patterns.

Little rocks can be seen through the ice.

Air has created a circular pattern within the ice.

We played with this one a bit.

This picture is a stylized representation of some icy seaweed in front of a blurry pebbled background.

A tourist highlight on the Bristol peninsula is Pemaquid Lighthouse. Of course we have been to Pemaquid before. This page from 2016 has a lot of pictures from there. More recently, we have pictures of last year's storm damage. The lighthouse caretakers have been able to restore the lighthouse and the bell house.

Pemaquid lighthouse has a partially snow-covered yard.

Pemaquid lighthouse is seen with snow in the yard. There is a wreath on the corner of the picket fence.

The late day sun is shining on the bell house at Pemaquid. Some Adirondack chairs sit in the snowy yard.

The bell house has a bit of snow on the roof.

The bell house is fully repaired and has the bell hanging on the side towards the ocean. The rough ground slopes down steeply to the ocean water.

This is another view of the bell house, with snow on the rocks around it.

The snow and ice reflect the cold temperatures of the day.

Snow has drifted and the late day sun highlights the little ridges.

Grass is protruding from snow and ice that are between long horizontal rocks.

Paul is standing on some snow-covered rocks with his camera and tripod. He is bundled up against the cold.

In the distance of the previous picture is Monhegan Island.

Looking across the water, a large island can be seen in the distance.

We stayed for sunset (which fortunately for us comes early in January).

The colors of sunset can be seen in the distance, past two Adirondak chairs that have snow on them.

The setting sun shines over snow covered rocks.

The setting sun is seen across some water and behind some trees.

The setting sun is seen across some water and behind some trees.

A yellow-orange sky at sunset is seen behind evergreen trees, and there is water in the foreground of the picture.

The sun is almost set in the picture. The snow-covered rocks and the water can just be seen, along with the silhouette of a house.

The Pemaquid bell house stands against the last light of the day.

The sun has set, and the Pemaquid light is shining.
