Out here in the Pacific Northwest, we refer to August as “Fogest” along the coastline. Inland in Washington state, the month is normally hot and dry. But along the 40-mile stretch of coastline from the country’s northwestern-most tip of Neah Bay to the Quilleute village of La Push forty miles to the south — the section of coastline that I’m most familiar with — early August mornings tend to be chill with a thick layer of fog that gives the landscape its magical tone.
So I felt right at home walking the early morning streets of Lubec.
There are enough references in the town’s gift shop and along Lubec’s main street signage to suggest that fog is one of the Lubec’s defining features. Of the five mornings that I woke up in Lubec, four of them were thick with a beautiful and refreshing wet layer.
These images were all taken on the same morning along the town’s downtown waterfront area.
Thank you for looking. My What I Did on my Summer Vacation report will continue tomorrow. My previous installments can be found here and here.

Why Am I Offering a Free Print to Paid Subscribers?
I want to reach across the virtual divide that separates us and offer something tangible, something meaningful to me that I’ve created with my own hands and that you can hold with yours. It’s old-school, I get it. And it costs me a little bit to do this, but your support means means everything to me. so let’s give this a try.
These are some sweet images!!!
Very poetic images, Mark. Fog has a way of slowing everything down and encouraging contemplation.
