Campobello Island Aerial Photograph

Campobello Island - Sunrise Aerial From West Lubec, Maine

"She is shrouded by the cool, blue mist of early morning that slowly evaporates into the clean, bright air of midday. Her shore is shaped by the continual pounding of the icy surf from the Bay of Fundy, site of two great whirlpools and the highest tides in the world. Her air is tangy with the mixing scents of land and sea. The signs of man's presence are barely perceptible over much of her flowing fields, dense forests, tidal marshes, expansive mud flats, and jagged headlands. Campobello Island has changed comparatively little over the centuries that man has known her." - From the Introduction
THE STORIES AND PHOTOGRAPHS which I gathered over three years and more than a dozen trips to the island have been published as a Master of Fine Arts thesis project, several magazine stories, a book and an exhibit. Virtually all of the text from the book, "Campobello: Roosevelt's Beloved Island," can be read here accompanied by many of the photographs.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of the softcover version of the book, please write to the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, P.O. Box 97, Lubec, Maine 04652. The cost is $10 plus shipping. For more information about the park, see it's Web site: http://www.fdr.net
