Bar Harbor: A Winter Portrait

[HFVGM]

Obviously this person has no friends. The people are INSIDE where it's WARM having a PARTY without you NARRATOR! Bar Harbor in winter is beautiful and the social scene is full; there are parties, plays, concerts and movies to attend all through the colder months. If you are from 'away' please don't let this video keep you from visiting in winter - we're having a great time up here. Check-out the calendar, look-up "Mount Desert Islander" and go to the events page. Always something going on!

The voice is hilarious. "...envelopped in layers and layers of clothing... they peer out their windows, loooking at what their world has become" HA it's winter not armageddon

...then there are the people...their faces disappear into their jackets...they peer out their windows, looking at what their world has become...they walk aimlessly...oh, yes, every tourists fantasy of what happens in the "off -season"...chuckle chuckle, we only come alive when the visitors come back...like Brigadoon.

Thank God for canned chowder.

It's just like Block Island. Crazy fun in the summer, very "meh" in the winter.

[Jillthecatt]

This is sarcasm, right? Like pseudo-Solzenhitzyn kind of thing? Sheeesh.

I feel like I've just attended a mass funeral or something. I like the images but man, that was plain depressing. My family and I might be moving up to Maine and possibly this area and watching this I just felt incredibly sad and lonley.

I live in Bar Harbor and this is what it looks like in the winter. But the narration made it sound very emo. Bar Harbor is fun in the winter too! It's just turns into a ghost town.

My wife and I have been in bar harbor during our honeymoon, in august 2003. We do love this place and all the Main. We'll come back one day or another.

Having visited Bar Harbor two summers ago, you have now answered the burning question in my mind..what does this place look like in the winter? Pretty much as I had anticipated, but you handled it in a melancholy, yet almost ironically "Shining"-esque cinematography. Mr. King up the road in Bangor would be proud.

Ugh...

[danafrap]

This sucked. How offensive for the people who live there. I bet they were just trying to get rid of these pretentious brats.

See you next summer Bar Harbor!

[babebeene]

Not really offensive. We are not hibernating Bears though!!!!! We're very lively people! The town might be dead but just peak into a window and you'll see that us locals know how to keep the summer going!!!! We party like it's 1999 in Bah Habah!!!

[aslans1]

@danafrap Lighten up!!! This is a wonderful film-not to be taken too seriously!!

[VAYankee83]

Beautiful video! Thank you for reminding me of why I love Bar Harbor so dearly and even more so in winter! Strange as it seems, I prefer BH in winter...

[stebruce]

Very nice, very cold, we have a home nearby, but have not been there in the winter! don't plan on it.
