Description: Taken from the top of Bradbury Mountain in Pownal, Maine as the sun was getting close to setting. This is a HDR of three images covering 2 stops using Photomatix. Bradbury Mountain State Park is an 800-acre (320 ha) state park in Pownal, Cumberland County, Maine. The land was acquired by the federal government of the United States in 1939 with the park being founded in the 1940s. Its borders were extended in the 1990s and 2000s across Maine Route 9 with the addition of the Knight Woods parcels. It was one of the Maine's original five state parks. While Bradbury Mountain itself is not particularly high—it stands less than 500 feet high—it is a popular destination for hikers, who are rewarded with good views after a relatively short climb. The underlying material, exposed at the summit, is granite and pegmatite. The park's trails have also become popular with mountain bikers, to whom most trails in the park are open. Bradbury Mountain is a popular hike during all seasons, including winter. (Wikipedia)
