One Morning in Maine

I must admit, I didn't think I would ever quite make it to this most incredible lighthouse near Portland, Maine. But plans that started one way ended another and there we were one sunny morning (two sunny mornings, actually). And there it was.

The sun rises at 5:30 a.m. that far east in the Eastern time zone, and though we didn't set the alarm, Stacey and I somehow woke up in time to catch the early rays in a setting combining the best work of God and man (top two photos). Mid-day was also a great time to catch the strong surf and the brilliant colors of Portland Head Light, with Ram Island Light in the distance.
