Today we revisit the Portland Head Light located outside of Portland, Maine on Cape Elizabeth. Arguably the signature lighthouse of Maine, it is often seen from the vantage point of this earlier post. The lighthouse is surrounded by a huge park and the parking lots are located on this side. What many people don’t realize is that there is a trail that leads away from the lighthouse along the cliff. It is from the “other side” that I went to after taking the first series of shots. As you can see, the view of the lighthouse is very different but no less beautiful. Just goes to prove to look at a subject from all angles.
Outstanding image, Len. Get this baby mounted on the wall.
Really nice work, bud!

This is my hometown! Actually my photos of this lighthouse are sold in the giftshop. Great capture, a bit on the dark side, but looking at your other photos this is consistent with your style and works well with your other photos. I just found your site via a comment you left on Catch the Jiffy and am signing up for email updates.
Looking forward to more quality from you in the future

!!! Wow Len! This is stunning! LOVE it. Brilliant shot.
Wow sir, amazing.
great advice Len and a wonderful photo to go with it!!
I have to disagree with Andrew. Although the image may be a little dark for the purist, your processing has maintained detail in the very brightest areas, including the sun-burst, which would have been lost if you had brightened the shot.

This is just outstanding Len. I love everything about it. Your composition with the lighthouse on the right and the setting sun on the left is perfect.

Beautiful work Len. I’ve seen countless pictures of this beautiful place but I don’t recall seeing this side. It is really impressive when someone is able locate a different POV and turn it into a work of art as you have done. Great job!
So beautiful! Love the composition and the tones.
