Cape Neddick Light - York Beach, Maine

On Monday morning, after a delightful meal hosted by our hero Marine Corporal Dan Buscemi at Amore Breakfast in Ogunquit, I began my drive South back to Connecticut along Shore Road which eventually turns into Route 1A. Soon, I arrived in York Beach and headed out to Sohier Park to shoot the Cape Neddick Light. This lighthouse is also called The Nubble Light referring to the barren rocky island (a nubble) where it sits. It is said that when NASA launched the Voyager Spacecraft, they picked photos to identify Earth in case the craft fell into extraterrestial hands - these included an image of the Nubble. I knew this shot would be challenging because I had to aim East into the morning sun. It would be preferable to create this image with the late afternoon light from the West - I'll try that on my next visit. All things considered, I'm happy with it.
