Today we are headed back to one of my favorite lighthouses, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. I wanted to show a different perspective of this lighthouse.
There are two classic views that are normally captured. The first one is from the vantage point from the rocks on the southern side, which usually has the lighthouse reflected in the collected water. The other classic view is from the rocks on the other side that show the strata in the rocks that lead toward the lighthouse and the sea.
This perspective is from the ground level and is probably the best angle to capture the early morning sunrise. While it doesn’t have the drama that the rocks provide from the classic shots, it is still a pretty sight with the right light. This particular morning, the skies had cleared up significantly from the night before (check out this post for the previous night’s weather). The warm glow from the rising sun cast a wonderful light on the scene and promised a great day ahead.
What a picturesque scene here Len, the lighting is just beautiful!

What a beautiful location and photo. Very nice work!
I like this viewpoint. The lighthouse sits well within the frame bathed in warm early morning light with some beautiful gradation in the sky. Very nice!

Nice to see a different perspective of Pemaquid! This POV is perfect for the early morning light and your processing has perfectly brought out the glow on the lighthouse and the gentle graduations in the sky.
