A Maine Photography Experience
Although I am a native Floridian. I have been enchanted by the coastal area of Maine every time I go there. It's a little hard to explain. The rocky coastlines are vastly different from the sandy beaches in Florida. The architecture of the houses is charming with an old-world feel. There isn't anything about it that I don't like.
What brings me back, again and again, is what seems to be endless photographic possibilities. There are so many places to explore and I'm not including Acadia National Park, for which I have an entirely separate gallery. I'm not sure I will ever be able to photograph them all.
Photographing Maine – Facts and Reflections
Some of my favorite scenes to photograph involve the lighthouses of Maine. I am always drawn to them. Maine has more lighthouses than any other state in the United States, with over 60 lighthouses along its coast. The Maine lighthouses have been featured in paintings, photographs, and novels. Portland Head Light, located in Cape Elizabeth, is one of the oldest lighthouses in Maine as it was commissioned by George Washington and was built in 1791. The tallest lighthouse in Maine is the Bass Harbor Head Light (56 feet tall) which is located in Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. Some Maine lighthouses are open to the public and offer tours.
Many Maine lighthouses have a rich maritime history. They often played an important role in guiding ships and protecting sailors from treacherous coastlines and rocky shoals. but each lighthouse has its own unique story and beauty. Learning about and exploring these beacons of light can be a fascinating journey where you appreciate their beauty as well as learn about Maine's maritime heritage.
