This is the current lighthouse at Portland in Dorset.
Standing at 135 feet tall it is distinctive having a red band around the white body.
Built between 1903-1905 it was first lit in 1906 and became fully automated in 1996.
The light can be seen from approx 26 nautical miles away.
From my time in the Royal Navy in the 80's it was one of the first lights we saw as we came up the English Channel on the way 'home'.

Here is dusk over Portland, Oregon a few nights ago. Thanks to Gary Randall for his help finding this location.
It was scary being in the city with all the rioting going on last week. All three black people who live in Portland were out vandalizing and setting things on fire after the Jury decision in Ferguson.

This was my first visit to this iconic location on the southern Maine coast, but definitely won't be my last. With excellent view points from both the north and south as well as the constantly changing tides, it offers endless composition possibilities.
Trying a new edit on this one.
Thanks for all the Fav's and comments. They are all very appreciated.

Portland Skyline from the Waterfront at Blue Hour just after Sunset. Morrison bridge to the right and Hawthorne bridge to the left
I don't know if they were security officers or just bikers.. but they said I could hop the railing onto the waterfront, so I quickly collapsed my tripod, slung my camera around my neck and started climbing. Worth the shot.
