Description
A morning at Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. This is easily one of the most well-known and most-photographed spots along this part of the east coast. I was lucky enough to get a few shots in before dense fog rolled in.Location of photograph: [link]

I love this photo. Definitely one of my favorites. How were you able to capture that wispy water?

Thanks. I used a 1.3-second exposure to blur the motion of the water a bit.

There's so much history along that coast in general. I wish I had more time to spend there to do more tourist-type things & check out some museums. Hopefully I can get back there one day to do that.

they HAVE been talking about tearing down the odd lighthouse that sits right off the point there in the water known as the ram island lighthouse ....it was part of the submarine net defense shield that tied all the Portland islands together in WW 2 ....Fort Williams of course is a Landmark and you got a great shot But this one >>>> [link] might have to go due to lack of upkeep and the fact that is is crumbling >>> [link]

Wow, that thing looks ancient. Hopefully they don't have to tear it down though.
