T his is a one year journal of the view from Mount Battie, Camden, Maine. Each day for a year I climbed up the road to the summit in every weather and at any time of day or night; in order to view the harbor, the surrounding islands, the ocean and the sky. People from all over the world have been attracted to it to be enthralled, to mediate and find some momentary peace, or to say they were there. I came to see the sunrise and the sunset.
