This year is very unique for everyone with the COVID-19 all around. I didn’t go out to do any nature photography since spring, however, as the fall arrived, I couldn’t resist to go for some leafpeeping. I love fall colors and New England is especially beautiful this time of year, so Gabi and I decided to visit Maine at the end of September. We camped near Baxter State Park (map) and went to the park to check out the beautiful Mount Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine. Its highest peak is 5,269 feet (1,606 m). The mountain was named Katahdin by Penobscot Indians, which means The Greatest Mountain. Governor Percival Baxter bought the area around the peak in 1929 and donated it to the state to be kept forever wild. The state park was established in 1931 and was named in his honor. We only spent one full day in the park, but enjoyed it very much. It is definitely one of the most beautiful places on the Eastern part of the USA.

I didn’t bring any of my film cameras to the park, because due to the pandemic I had to change my original plans. The gear I used for the photos: Canon EOS 7D, Canon 17-40mm f/4, Canon 70-200mm f/4, Tiffen polarizer, Manfrotto tripod.
