Last Thursday, August 4, 2022, was very foggy in Lubec as I have already illustrated in these two posts: (1) Quoddy Head & (2) Boot Head Preserve. Well here are some pictures of Lubec per se from that evening & night. I was staying in downtown Lubec that night. And as some of you know I like to amble at night — & do so nightly wherever I may be. That said, I particularly like ambling around Lubec at night. It is quiet, quaint & picturesque. So, here are some pictures to illustrate that. Enjoy.

As attested in print above, ‘Boot Head Preserve‘ is my top pick on the ‘Bold Coast‘ — and that is saying something given how fond I am off the whole area.

As I pointed out in this post, there was pretty thick fog nearly all day up in the ‘Lubec‘ area (i.e., ‘Bold Coast‘) last Thursday, August 4, 2022. That was the densest & most persistent fog I had seen up there in all of my visits. After I had spent about 90 minutes at Quoddy, in the fog, I decided to make it to Boot Head to see what it was like in the fog. Well, here are some pictures. Enjoy.

Neat To See The ‘East Quoddy Light’ (Though NOT On The ‘Bold Coast’) Featured On A ‘Windows 10’ Lock Screen.

Click to ENLARGE. ‘West Quoddy Head’ light which, indeed, is on the ‘Bold Coast‘.

The middle figure above explains the irony here. The iconic, candy-striped ‘Quoddy Head‘ light, at the ‘Quoddy Head State Park’ sits at the designated easternmost point of the contiguous U.S. Its officially name, however, incongruous as it maybe, is ‘WEST Quoddy Head Light‘. That is because of the lighthouse pictured in the Windows 10 lock screen. It lies to the EAST of that at the State Park — but it is NOT in the U.S. That is the catch. It is on ‘Campobello Island’, in Canada. It, as you can see, is also a red & white lighthouse though this time the stripes are in the form of a tall cross. The red is to improve visibility in fog — a frequent occurrence in this area.

Pretty thick fog nearly all of the day up in the ‘Lubec‘ area (i.e., ‘Bold Coast‘) last Thursday, August 4, 2022. That was the densest & most persistent fog I had seen up there in all of my visits. It was cool. Another perspective. The Bold Coast is eerily quiet most of the time. The fog made the silence even more profound. It was quite the trip. I felt bad for a few folks I met who were just there for the day. Luckily all of them agreed that the fog was ‘cool’. That was good.

I have more Bold Coast fog pictures from that day & the next. I will post them over the next few days as time permits. Enjoy.
