Portland Head Light

Lighthouses are a favorite subject for many photographers, and I am no exception.  This one--taken in the dwindling light after sunset--is of Portland Head Light, outside of Portland, Maine. 

I was fortunate to capture not only the color of the dying day but also a bright moon centered over the lighthouse. 

Here's another view of the same lighthouse, this time taken from the opposite direction and during daylight hours.

I especially like the curving shoreline as it leads the eye into the central focus of the picture, the lighthouse itself.
