Lighthouses - II

Photographing the Portland Headlight in Maine.

One of my last photo shoots before the big move across the ocean brought me to Portland, Maine. The destination was the Portland Headlight, a lighthouse built in the late 1700's in a dramatic setting. The shoreline surrounding the lighthouse is cliffy with steep rocky beaches. Absolutely beautiful.

On one of my last trips along the norther East Coast in the U.S. I made it up to Cape Neddick in York, Maine. My destination was the Nubble light house. Since this was a rather spontaneous decision I made it there in the mid afternoon on a sunny Sunday - amongst busloads of other tourists. But being patient enough, I managed to capture the image of the Nubble Light house below.Although it looks rather unreal, this is done at the right time with the right equipment.
