This smart painter chose a 5 story perch to paint her subject, which was the street next to the Portland public library.

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 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, using a fund of $1,500, established by him. 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 aerobeacon in 1958. That lens was updated with a DCB-224 aerobeacon in 1991. The DCB-224 aerobeacon was replaced in the spring of 2021 with a VRB-25 lens.

Downtown Portland has a nice mix of old and new buildings. I found lots of interesting things to photograph in only a 6 square block walk.

Okay, Portland Bill looked nothing like this, but it still makes me think of the kid's TV show. He's not even a lighthouse keeper, but he is part of the St Ives coastwatch station.

Commissioned by George Washington in 1787, Portland Head is one of the oldest lighthouses in the United States. It is also one of the most scenic, being located on a rocky cliff, close to downtown Portland, Maine.
