Prospect Harbor Lighthouse located in Prospect Harbor, Maine. You can get there from from Route 186 or 195 off Rt 1. The light is on an active duty US Navy site so is in excellent condition overall. You can't get upclose and personnel like some lights though but still close enoough to get good pics with little zoom.
FORTUNATE PROSPECT

History: The stallion Fortunate Prospect may be the first Old Friends retiree with more cred, as, well, a stallion than a racehorse. The Florida bred has a respectable track record (about a dozen stakes wins, including the the San Vicente at Santa Anita at the age of 3 and the Equus Handicap at Garden State in course record time the following year), but it’s his family tree that has grown with distinction.
Considered one of the truly great stallions in Florida breeding history, Prospect sired 537 winners, 28 of them stakes victors. His 632 runners—including top filly Fortunate Card and chief earner Suave Prospect—have earned over $38 million on the track. The stallion also gained recognition over the years as a top broodmare sire: His daughter Successful Dancer is the dam of multiple stakes winner Successful Appeal, who now stands at Walmac Farm.
Prospect stood at Farnsworth Farm, near Morristown, Fla. for nearly two
decades before he was pensioned from the breeding shed in 2005 at the
age of 24. He was donated to OF when owner Michael Sherman liquidated
his farm in early 2005 and needed a new home for his long-term resident. Needless to say, we feel very Fortunate to have him.
