This looks like a fun way to see all of the island. This boat had just passed the lighthouse when I spotted it and liked the way it stood out from the others. One of the people in our painting workshop did try this tour and really liked it. Most of our free time was devoted to painting and I do wish I had visited more of the special touristy  things to see on Campobello.  Maybe next time I will.

This is a wonderful spot for watching whales, a pleasant lunchtime place, and within the park, an excellent plein air painting location. I was on Campobello Island last year at the beginning of September, enjoying the cool sunny weather and eating lobster at every meal. 

This lighthouse was constructed in 1829, and painted with the cross of Saint George.

This painting took a little longer than I expected, but I am pleased with the result. If you are doing the thirty in thirty challenge, I hope you are still having fun with it. I sure am.

This is one of the most beautiful spots in the world; the view here is from the town of Lubec, Maine. The island forms a boundary between the United States turf, and Canadian property.  It was decided that Pope's Folly would belong to the U.S. in 1895 at the same time that an English vessel was trying to smuggle forty cases of rum onto Campobello Island while pretending to export it to the U.S. on Pope's Folly Island. The two court decisions were heard together as one, since both depended on which country controlled the island.

Pope's Folly island is named for a man who was jilted by his true love and decided to row the short distance from the mainland and live alone on the tiny island.
