In 1602 explorer Bartholomew Gosnoid and the Indians of the area named Cape Neddick "Savage Rock" it took Congress untill 1874 to grant $15,000 for the Nubble Light House to be built. The light is tower is cast-iron lined with brick, and was first lit on July 1st, 1879. The Nubble Light was manually operated for 108 years, and went automatic in 1987. When Nasa sent Voyager II into space with artifacts designed to teach extraterrestrial civilizations about our planet, one of the images carried was a picture of Nubble.
I posted a workshop of the same shot but at a different perspective.


Over the past week I took a roadtrip of Maine, Conn. and Mass and took many interesting shots, I hope everyone enjoys them.

different perspective

I climbed out onto one of the many rocks surrounding the light house and wanted to get a different perspective of the light house and the rocks and water surrounding it. It was a challenge to get a shot without any people in them.
