Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in the state of Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.

Portland Basin, also known as New Wharf, is the terminus of the Ashton Canal where it meets the northern end of the Peak Forest Canal. There is also a short branch to Dukinfield.
The masonry arch bridge carrying the Ashton Canal towpath over the Peak Forest Canal was built in 1835. It has a single ring of voussoirs with a keystone, a deck of stone setts and stone flag parapets.
This elegant, stone-built footbridge became notorious for many attempted suicides during the Cotton Famine of the 1860's and hence the canal basin in the foreground gained the nickname
"The Weaver's Rest"
Although this is slightly out of order (I took this with the timer in the car park at Portland Bill lighthouse), it seemed a good plan to use it as this week's Selfie Sunday shot!
It's my birthday today, so we are going out for a meal in the posh looking restaurant that's recently opened on South Parade Pier! Hope to get some photos out there today!
