I'm A Lighthouse!!!

These photos are final peeks at some of my favorite spots. I took these photos this past Winter, fortunately I was lucky enough to capture them with a little snow, we didn't have much at all this year! Now I'm looking forward to posting some Spring photos!   I hope you enjoy "my" lighthouses as much as I do!

Portland Head Light

The Bug Light (look familiar?)


Spring Point Light

Two Lights


I'm a Lighthouse!


Dead ahead, through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light on a collision course with his ship. 

He sends a signal: "Change your course ten degrees east."

"Change yours ten degrees west," comes the reply.
The captain responds, "I'm a United States Navy captain! Change your course, sir!"
"I'm a seaman second class," the next message reads. "Change your course, sir."
The captain is furious. "I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!"
"I'm a lighthouse. Your call."

  7. These photos are some of my favorites. You are so lucky to be able to know them all so well. I remember the first time you took me to Portland Head Light. The fog horn was blaring as the fog was rolling in over the rocks. What a wonderful sound that was.

  8. He hee, that's funny!

    I've yet to go to the Portland lighthouse. Maybe this summer we'll get there! I'm sure it's a beautiful drive along the water as I looked up the route about a month or so ago. Sunrise there would be amazing! I hope you had a great trip. Definitely not much snow to shoot this winter!

  13. Awwww lovely photographs! I've only recently lived by the sea and we live right opposite a lighthouse (Roker lighthouse in England). I always love it when the foghorn goes off - so very eerie! I appreciate your love of lighthouses! Moo x
