echoes at dawn..
at the lighthouse keeper's house..
Our trip to the Northeast began in Portland, Maine, where we stayed at a really nice Hampton Inn. Got up before dawn to get here, to the Portland Head Lighthouse - the most famous, most photographed lighthouse in the US - and luckily, one of the most accessible. No more than a ten-minute drive from our waterfront hotel in Portland..
I made the decision not to attempt bringing a tripod on the plane, and really, this was the only time I wished I had one. But I made do with a fence rail, held my breath, waited till both lights synched up, and I'm satisfied with the result. I like the notion that the two lighthouses are communicating somehow, echoing each other's message to passing mariners..
This was also the only dawn of the trip that had any color in the sky, as we were blessed with ridiculously beautiful weather for the entire trip. And in Maine - that's quite a blessing. As was us choosing this particular morning to be at the lighthouse when dawn broke..
