hopes and expectations..
This is a repost of a picture I took on our first trip to Portland, Maine. It's the "Portland Head Light Lighthouse" just outside Portland, and one of the most famous lighthouses in America.
Adam and I spent quite a bit of time, waiting to catch the rotating light at the moment it cast it's light out over the water, but the results were.. underwhelming.
Another one of those cases where the reality doesn't quite live up to the expectations we have in our minds. Like the 'sea monkeys' they used to sell in the back of the comic books, or the toys they advertise on TV with the disclaimers about 'items sold separately' (or not available at all)..
So I 'enhanced' the light in the lighthouse to more closely reflect the image I'm sure we both had in our minds while we were shivering and waiting in the dark. So sue me.. (grins..)
All I know is if I was approaching the rocky shoreline in the fog, I would hope the lighthouse put out a scorching, penetrating beam of light like this one.
