Hi Folks:

I went to Maine with my daughter and son-in-law on Columbus Day 
weekend... to his family's summer place which was a small farm in the 1800s.

I had planned to shoot some photos with my 11x14 at nearby Acadia Nat'l 
Park, but the wind and heavy rain put an end to that idea.

We had twelve inches of rain in two days... just 1/8th inch more and we 
would have been "not responded to by FEMA".

I shot some photos after the worst of the rain tapered down:

None of the photos really convey the rain.  As my daughter said, "It 
doesn't look nearly as rainy as I remember it".

Four of them are my favorites but I need to edit out some of these, 
please let me know what you think.

Jim


P.S. The very last photo shows a whirlpool next to a flooded road.  I've 
never seen one before in nature, only in a bathtub.  It sounded the same 
but was louder and larger, about six inches across at it's widest. When 
I put a leaf into it, it popped out on the other side of the road in two 
seconds... pretty fast. Unfortunately, it never occurred to me to dial 
up the ISO from 200.
