Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease...[explored]
Portland Head Light

-Benjamin Franklin.

Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine that sits at the entrance of the shipping channel into Casco Bay. The headlight was the first built by the United States government, and is now a part of Fort Williams Park.

As one of the most photographed lighthouses in the US I was very eager to get this one right. Also one fellow photographer I me while at Annisquam Light told me that the Portland Head light ticks all the boxes to be a perfect lighthouse shot. I have a couple of more interesting shots and I will post them as get the time.

Taken before sunset, the stains in the sky are dissipating clouds, maybe I should have erased them, they tend to appear like imperfections.
