Beacon

Quick post and run. Lot’s going on today as my niece is getting married and the house I am staying in will be crazy.

Arguably the signature lighthouse of Maine, the Portland Head Light is actually located outside of Portland on Cape Elizabeth. The lighthouse is surrounded by a huge park. This image was actually taken on my scouting trip for the following morning pre-dawn shoot. The day was beautiful and, although it didn’t have the soft early morning light, I was pretty pleased with the result.

  7. Great composition, Len! Love the way the curve of the cliff and the wave lead the eye directly to the lighthouse.

    Nice shot. Went there a few years ago to get my own shot only to discover it was covered with scaffolding plus a Nor’eastern was the weather for the week. Oh, well.
