“I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve.” - George Bernard Shaw

Maine is the northernmost state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Maine is the 39th most extensive and the 9th least populous of the U.S. states and territories. It is bordered by New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and northwest respectively. Maine is the easternmost state in the contiguous United States, and the northernmost east of the Great Lakes.
It is known for its jagged, rocky coastline; low, rolling mountains; heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways; and also its seafood cuisine, especially clams and lobster. There is a humid continental climate throughout the state, even in coastal areas such as its most populous city of Portland. The capital is Augusta.
Portland Head Light, informally known as the Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse, is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on ahead of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in the state of Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.

ReplyDeleteI have never been to Maine but I've always wanted to go there. I hear they have magnificent fall foliage.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading about Maine. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot. I like the surreal feel it has.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Maine only once. We flew in our plane down from Canada to Acadia National Park. When we cleared airport customs the agent warned us about all the traffic at the Bar Harbor Airport. He didn't realize we were used to flying in congested Los Angeles airspace. It was a busier than many small airports, but nothing we couldn't handle. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to go to Maine when I was little. Sadly, I never made it :(
