I first visited this lighthouse on my tour of New England lighthouses with my son as he searched for a location for his movie short. While we loved the light (known as either the Cape Neddick Lighthouse or Nubble Light), my images were pretty awful as it was mid-day and the light and glare was terrible. I decided that I needed to revisit sometime in the future.
That chance came in the fall during a vacation with friends. We were staying in Kennebunkport and decided to take a boat tour out of Perkins Cove in Ogunquit to see the island from all sides. The tour is a nice way to spend an afternoon seeing the beautiful Maine coast and it’s most southern destination is the lighthouse. The tour circles the island (or at least 90% of it) before heading back to Perkins Cove. The best vantage point, whether it be from a boat or on land, is this one that shows the full lighthouse.
I certainly recall seeing other images of this lighthouse. An interesting clutch of buildings and a lovely sky to set the scene. Excellent detailing. Nice work, Len

Great revisit to a great scene. I remember the previous posting. This looks really nice with the buildings and the foreground rocks. Nice smooth sky as well.

I don’t know what it is, but man do I love me a good lighthouse shot. I need to get my butt over to Michigan and do some shooting of their great houses. Thanks for the inspiration!

Very nice composition, Len. The rocks in the foreground are an excellent frame to the image. Just love the details in them.

Just gorgeous Len. I remember the lighthouse shots you’ve posted in the past and this one is stunning. I love that little red building and how it stands out against the white of the lighthouse and the rocks.
