label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a nocturnal view of the full moon over Frenchman Bay and Bald Porcupine Island, viewed from the shore of Mt. Desert Island at Bar Harbor, Maine. In the foreground, the nearby wooded terrain of Mt. Desert is shown in shadow as it descends gently to the left. Across a stretch of water that brightly reflects the moon's light, Bald Porcupine Island is visible within Frenchman Bay. In the background, the distant coastline of the Schoodic Peninsula is visible. The bright orb of the full moon hangs in the sky above, casting a warm halo into the atmosphere around it. The sky is otherwise rendered in a shade of dark blue-green.
