Portland Head Lighthouse

Portland Head Lighthouse
Portland Head Light. A classic chocolate-box lighthouse capture here. Our third lighthouse on this tour only a mile or so from our ship docked in Portland harbour. A very popular tourist spot and it was nice to see blue skies and sun. In the distance we see ‘Ram Island Ledge Light Station too.

Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth. The light station sits on a headland at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into the Port of Portland. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon and foghorn are maintained by the US Coast Guard. The big house here is the former lighthouse keeper’s home and now a museum.

Such a wonderful image Herb. The sunshine, blue sky and calm seas are gorgeous and the lighthouse is a thing of beauty!

I also like the adjacent house and the magnificent rocky landscape it all sits on!

Superbly composed and very nicely detailed.............top marks from me. 10/10

So glad that you see this as I do Keith. All the elements came together to make a smashing calendar shot here. This morning I also posted the same capture without the bottom foliage which I find a bit distracting but I do like the red berries balancing the red rooftop. (I removed that photo for lack of interest.) I would have liked to capture the same thing form the sea-level rocks and without the tourist but as I was one too -how can I complain. I think I did well for the 15 or so minutes that I allowed myself at this spot. Cheers for the full marks.

Best Wishes. Herb
