Description
Iconic Portland Head Light, with a splash of energy! :) A few years ago, we went to Acadia National Park to explore that amazingly beautiful place. When we left the park, we had intended to go see the iconic Portland Head Light, south of Portland, but I was too tired and grumpy to make the trip. I have been kicking myself ever since.
Well, on this trip to New England, Portland Head Light was elevated much higher on the list of important places to explore.
It is the most iconic, most photographed lighthouse in America for very good reasons.
Construction began for Portland Head Light in 1787 at the directive of George Washington, And it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine.
I photographed it multiple times on this trip, with good conditions for a sunset and again for a sunrise.
You will be seeing many images from this session, but this is one of the images that I am most excited about. I was waiting for the tide to come in to produce the most dramatic crashing waves and this is what I captured. Oh, I got soaked and my camera almost got washed away.
Anything for the shot right?
