Around Acadia : Images of Mount Desert Island

This lush photography book presents a complete picture of Maine’s Mount Desert Island, with scenes of the towns and villages as well as Acadia National Park. 

Acadia National Park is a stunning and prominent feature on Maine’s Mount Desert Island, but the majestic park is only part of the full picture of the island. To present the full picture, in addition to capturing gorgeous natural landscapes of the popular national park, photographer Sue Anne Hodges also focuses her lens on the rest of the island.

Mount Desert Island is a community where people and nature live in harmony and work hard to maintain that delicate balance. Working villages are nestled in the wild beauty between the shores and mountains of Acadia. Picturesque structures, charming shops, secret gardens, the trappings of life on the water, and plenty of quaint New England charm are all part of the full Mount Desert Island experience. Additionally, there are many gardens and preserves for the public to enjoy. With more than 30 years of experience photographing the island, Hodges spotlights the unique features of the area and taps into the spirit of the place.
