[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Although Portland Head Light is the world's most photographed lighthouse, the typical perspective is the lovely face it presents against the sea. I thought you might enjoy seeing the other side -- a fine instance of architecture in its own right and an often busy spot with traffic both by land and by sea.

Hi Jim,
Nice scenery shot. Cool and calm.

Jim, wonderful view of Portland Head Lighthouse! I spent two years in Wisconsin, mainly in Milwaukee, and photographed lighthouses up and down the coast of Lake Michigan, from Kenosha and Racine to the uppermost part of Door County. I fell in love with these old structures. My aim was to publish a book of Wisconsin Only Lighthouses, but after a year and some 28 lighthouses, the publishers I was working with canceled my contract saying that those Coffee Table Type Books just don't sell anymore. In retrospect I had a great time for a year capturing some beautiful lighthouse photos. I never got around to this one, but it was on my list of "to do" shots. That was until the money ran out. This is a great shot, which I will copy and download into my archive files. Of course it won't be used anywhere unless I have your permission to do so. In which case I will contact you. Check out a few of the lighthouse photos I have posted on TrekLens. Every Friday I add another one. Thank you so much!
