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.
Construction began in 1787 at the directive of George Washington, and was completed on January 10, 1791. Whale oil lamps were originally used for illumination. In 1855, following formation of the Lighthouse Board, a fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed; that lens was replaced by a second-order Fresnel lens, which was replaced later by an aero beacon in 1958. That lens was updated with an DCB-224 aero beacon in 1991.

I asked permission to take photos in almost all cases, and in all photos where I was aware of a child in the photo, I asked permission to take the photo and post here.
I did not ask permission for many group photos, where poses were being done for photos, assuming that taking those photos was implied okay. If you have any questions please message me through my Flickr page. Thank you!
Some times I include photos of both front and back because often times cosplayers have created something elaborate on the back side - and they never get to see what it looks like!

An ass to the face makes for a bad day, but a groin to a wide open mouth is just plain disastrous.
Critical feedback is appreciated on these, and all my photos for that matter*. It was tough lighting and I was 105mm away. ISO maintained around 3200. WB was good. Trying to figure out different approaches to similar environmental situations.
*I'm getting bored of the standard flickr "oh nice shot" comments. That's not to say they're not appreciated, it's just that I'm trying to learn and improve. More comprehensive technical critique from professionals would be appreciated. Thanks.

We happened to visit this Portland Head Lighthouse today and walked into a two-fold Memorial service. One for the sinking of a US Naval Sub-chaser off the coast during WWII, and two, the loss of US service personnel recently overseas. The Marines and Navy had a color guard on top of the lighthouse, while the Blue Angels did a fly-over. portlandheadlight.com/
Portland, Maine has a very historic waterfront and harbor. There were two cruise ships here this day, making for throngs of visitors everywhere.
Portland. This is Maine’s largest city with a metro population of 500,000. The historic port area is of most interest. When Maine became a state in 1820 Portland was the capital until it was moved to Augusta in 1832. Maine never abolished slavery because it never allowed it. Massachusetts, which had included Maine until 1820, abolished slavery in 1781. Because Portland was a major port and involved in the slave trade, taking salted cod to the South and the Caribbean, returning with molasses and transporting slaves across the Atlantic from Africa, it was also a centre for slave stowaways who escaped on ships. Runaway slaves then alighted at Portland and made an overland journey up to Canada and freedom. The city was a major ‘station’ for the Underground Railroad and black businessmen in the city assisted runaways. The city has developed its own ‘freedom trail’ of sites linked to the Underground Railroad. Anti-slavery lectures were popular in Portland and the Quakers and other religious groups supported abolition of slavery. The city has the third oldest African church in America - the Abyssinian Meeting House (1828). The waterfront affords views across Casco Bay and the city centre is known for its charming 19th century buildings. Before arriving in Salem we cross New Hampshire bypassing the city of Portsmouth.
