JCam Loc: MD Eastern Shore

Very nice set!! As a North East Coast sailor, had you given the location and names of each one I would have enjoyed them even more. The first looks like the Nubble Light off Oguonquit (SP?), ME. If it is you got a great picture of it. I've tried to get one from offshore several times, but the water along the shore line is pretty thin so I chickened out! The second might be the Rockland, MA light on the end of jetty at the Samoset Inn; we walked out to the end when we were young.

Are my 15+ year memories correct? I don't recognize the others at all--West coast?

Hello JCam,
Thanks for the nice comment. Sorry I didn't ID the lighthouses. By the time I realized it I couldn't fix it. To much time had passed. But beings that you asked, here you go. #1 is Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, ME. and yes that is my photo. My wife and I rented a cottage walking distance from it. I spent a lot of time here photographing the lighthouse. 2- Spring Point Ledge, S. Portland, ME. 3- Permaquid Point Light, Bristol, ME. 4- North Head Light, Ilwaco, WA., 5- Nobska Light, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, 6- Cape Mears, Tillamook, Oregon, 7- North Head Light, Ilwaco, WA. (near Cape Disappointment) 8- Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, ME. (this photo was taken from a ferry) Yaquina Head Light, Newport, Oregon, 10- Portland Breakwater, South Portland, ME. I hope these bring back some great memories of your time at sea. Enjoy!

Very nice set. Who doesn't like lighthouses? I've been to most (all?) of the ones on the Oregon coast and we have a trip planned for the future to drive the entire coast of Maine. You mentioned that you stayed in one at a B&B in Oregon; I assume that it was Heceta Head. We stayed there in July 2010 and I've included a photo of it and the B&B (the former lightkeeper's house). That was a real treat! I've also included another favorite, Kilauea on the north shore of Kauai (one of our favorite places on the planet).

The first two were taken with a 6MP Canon S3 IS; the last with a 12MP SX40 HS.

Nice photos, thanks for sharing. I don't know how much time you had to spend with Mike and Carol Korigan. The hosts/chefs at Heceta Head Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. They owned a restaurant prior to running the B & B. There restaurant was in the neighborhood where I spent a lot of time growing up. We had something in common to talk about. In the 50's and possibly the 70's Mike was a DJ at a local R & R radio station (KISN). I worked at a ABC affiliate TV station (KATU). More to talk about. It is a small world. They had to go somewhere while we were there. They gave us the keys to the light keeper's house and said "hold down the fort". Great memories.
