Portland, ME Lighthouse [Sky Watch Friday]
Here is a shot of the famous Portland, Maine lighthouse. The original image was on a 2x2 slide made in the 1970s, but scanned and digitized some 30 years later. The lighthouse is one of the most highly photographed sites in the USA, and you’ll find shots of it just about everywhere. Of course, I did not know that at the time and thought I had discovered something special. Yeah, right!

Stan, lighthouses mean so much to me, as my dear friend Walter ,in WW2, relied on them when in the Coastal Defence Forces.He told me many stories of ones special for him , lovely photo, and to be able to transfer it to the modern digital form, super. Greetings from Jean

Ha, I know the feeling of thinking you've captured something really special and then finding many have been there before you!! Great photo anyway.
Love those boulderous clouds hanging low over the lighthouse! Gorgeous scene!
Ah, I got pangs of homesickness the moment I saw your thumbnail photo on the SkyWatch page! I've visited this place often, as my grandparents used to live in Cape Elizabeth, very close to the Portland Head Light! In the summer months when I'd go up to spend an occasional night with them (I lived in Kennebunk), we'd often hear its fog horn through the open windows. I always loved that. Great photo! I always thought this was one of the prettiest lighthouses in the country!
Love how the red roof pops out from the blue sky. Happy shooting
That is a beautiful place, lovely image!
It's no wonder that it has been photographed so many times. Beautiful!
I love this lighthouse picture!
Stan, I know this lighthouse from visiting fiends in Portland (Peaks IS.) You have some great shots on this site. Your years of shooting shows.
Keep 'em coming.

P.S. What's film?
