During the next few days, we shall visit the images of 5 lighthouses that I was able to shoot during Summerfest 2010 in Maine. For some background, the coastline of Maine was carved by glaciers thousands of years ago forming a series of bays, inlets, ledges, and shoals. For mariners, these waters were complicated and extremely dangerous. There was no such thing as GPS so commencing around 1794, a series of lighthouses were constructed to provide a fixed point of guiding light. Well over 60 of these structures still dot the coast. Just outside of Kennebunkport, at the entrance to Cape Porpoise Harbor, you will find the Goat Island Light. It is said that the Secret Service agents guarding George H. W. Bush use the island to keep an eye on the Bush Compound at Walker's Point. This image was created at dusk, shot from some lobster company docks.
Fabulous lighting! Looks magical!
