Portland Head Light

The Portland Head lighthouse was commissioned by George Washington in 1787 and was completed in 1791. It is the oldest lighthouse in Maine, and protects the entrance to the major shipping channel into Portland Harbor, in Casco Bay. Of all the lighthouses I've visited over the years this one remains my favorite. The early morning fog was very thick, but rapidly began to lift as the sun started peeking though and the sky began to clear. When I took this shot the fog was nearly gone, giving us a bright sunny day on the coast of Maine. Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

 

We returned from our Maine vacation a few days ago and I've got much to do. I'll be catching up with everyone as soon as I can.
