prominent granite ledge and overlooks the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This
picture was taken early in the morning soon after my wife and I entered Maine. What a
glorious start to our vacation! The fresh smell of the ocean water was incredible. Upon
cruising into Portland, we bought a coffee from a quaint carryout market on the way, and
leisurely drove to the park in which this wonderful light house sits, and sat on a park bench
drinking coffee and enjoying the ocean view. There was not a cloud in the sky and the
summer smell of the ocean water was fresh and relaxing. We watched the ocean waves
crash over the granite rocks, enjoying the sound as it nearly lulled us to sleep. The wild beach
flowers (roses) were beautiful. These wonderful flower bushes surrounded the entire
walkway, obscuring the steep granite rocks that are the cause of so many shipwrecks along
the coast of Maine. It is easy to understand why famous Maine authors and artists visit this
location for inspiration and relaxation. For the same reasons my wife and I could have stayed
here for hours. It’s unfortunate this digital photo can’t fully convey how beautiful this Maine
light house location is, but perhaps it will inspire you to take your own Maine vacation and
experience its beauty firsthand.
