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.

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/

"Love locks" on the Steel Bridge, Portland OR. According to Telegraph.co.uk: "It is unclear who started the fashion. Italians claim it was sparked by a romantic novel called I Want You, by Federico Moccia, in which the hero and heroine attach a padlock with their name onto a lamppost on Ponte Milvio, near Rome, kiss and throw the key in the river Tiber."
I count about 5 so far on the Steel Bridge, as of 05/17/2010.
