Beautiful! No. 2 is stunning, but I would frame any one of them!
Your comment made my day. Thank you.

This lighthouse was first built in 1827. It collapsed soon after. The mortar was mixed with salt water. In 1835 it was built again. This time using fresh water. Nearly 180 years later it is still standing. Over 100,000 visitors were here last year. It is located in Bristol, Maine.
Love your Portland Head light because it's light is on and the Bug Light with it's attractive lighting angle.

Thanks photophile,
The Portland Head Lighthouse was a fun but challenging photo to take. I was on the top deck of a large tour boat when I shot this picture. Between the wind in my face, the wakes from other boats, a rough current and timing the turning light... it made things interesting. Truth be told, I got lucky.

Thanks for these lighthouse photos. Lighthouses are my favorite. And thanks for the info post on Permaquid Pt. LH.
Missed that one when we were in NE. Portland Head is my favorite (although I had a nasty fall with a wrist fracture last time I was there-saved the camera). I found a jig saw puzzle at a garage sale with the same view of your photo. $ .25 - what a deal - of course I bought it. Our tour guide told us that Bug Light was now nick named "Bud Light" but I'm not sure if that was just his joke. Hope you can revisit. Google "Maine Lighthouse" and you'll see a map of the many LH's there.

Nice series. #3 well composed and steps out at first look! With all the beauty in this shot I wonder if it would be enhanced by slightly toning down the blues so as not to distract from the effect of the side lighting?
