Winter shadows in Maine.

The northern winter sun sits decidedly low on the horizon.

And paints long, dark, dramatic, shadows on the snow.

In winter, the beauty of the landscape is lost on some. They see only black and white, very little color, and are lost.

But if they look just a little longer, exqusite beauty will express itself in subtle and dramatic ways.

But most likely they just head out to warmer spots, in search of brighter colors.

National Toboggan Championships - - Camden

So what if Florida has the Super Bowl! We have  our own national sports spectacle – - The National Toboggan Championships, held at the Camden Snow Bowl, February 5-7, 2010!

National Toboggan Championships - - Camden.

A mix between Carnival or Mardi Gras, and the Winter Olympics, this event is an example of what happens in Maine when the temperatures get lower and the days get shorter. Winter alters our brain cells and fun breaks out.

If you haven’t been before, here’s your chance. The best part is that anyone can enter!
