Hi everyone,

Fortunately for me I've been in Maine this summer and have been able to escape the terrible heat that seems to be plaguing the rest of the US (don't be jealous, I head back to Texas soon:cry). In an earlier post I had asked if anyone knew of potential locations for landscape photography. I received some good advice and would like to show one of the photos I was able to take. This picture depicts one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country, by the name of the Portland Head Lighthouse, located in Portland, ME. Beautiful rugged coastline, crashing waves, stormy weather - seems appropriate to have a lighthouse in this area :thumb. (Sorry about the size, can't seem to get panoramas any bigger when posting them to smugmug).

Cheers,
Kevin K.

    That photo is simply delightful!

    I'm headed up to Maine in mid-September and seeing this picture just makes me long for my vacation all that much more!

    Man, oh, man. Beautiful shot and does it ever look inviting. What are those things in the sky . . . clouds?

    You ain't gonna like the furnace that is Texas. Enjoy while you can!

    Nice pic
    I live 20 minutes from the Portland headlight and I have to say, it is a great subject to photograph.

    Nice photo
