Otter Cliffs Ocean Drive Sunrise

I watched the last sunrise of 2025 from the same place I watched the last sunrise of 2024: perched atop Otter Cliffs along the coast of Acadia National Park in Maine. And, just like 2024, I was treated to a beautiful but cloudless sunrise as the sky slowly brightened from dark blue to orange to daylight and the granite shore and forested peaks of Acadia picked up the morning glow.
