Spring Point Ledge, Light house
Another lighthouse on this tour of three in Portland, Maine, USA. A longish run, skip and jump along this 900 metre breakwater after being warned that it was dangerous to walk on these slabs of natural stones. I took the risk after seeing quite a few families with young children also taking the same risk. Apparently, visitors can usually get inside and get the thrill of walking around the fenced verandas.
In the background we can see Fort Gorges built in 1858.
Built in 1898, Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in Casco Bay, South Portland, that marks a dangerous reef on the west side of the main shipping channel into Portland Harbour. It is the only caisson-style light station in the United States. Visitors can walk to it, thanks to the breakwater built by the Army Corps of Engineer in 1950. It is still an active navigational aid, and was automated in the 20th century.

It looks quite splendid sat on the end of the breakwater and against the lovely sky. It's great to see them using solar panels too.
The rocks that make up the breakwater look very impressive and must have been difficult to transport and get into place. Well done for braving the walk :-)
Overall, a cracking shot Herb!
