Nubble Lighthouse 

On a recent visit to Boston, I took a side trip up Route 1 to York Beach, Maine.  I had never been out to the New England area, and I thought while I was there, I would do as much sightseeing as possible.  It took me about an hour and a half to reach York Beach from Boston.  My main objective: photos of Nubble Lighthouse.  The lighthouse is also commonly referred to as Cape Neddick Lighthouse and is claimed to be one of America’s most popular lighthouses.  In 1977, NASA’s Voyager II took a picture of the lighthouse into space as the Coast Guard thought it represented “The American lighthouse”.

The picture below was taken over the course of 90 minutes of shooting.  Next to the Atlantic Ocean, the winds were a constant 40mph+ with temperatures in the 20’s.  I was only able to shoot for about 5 minutes at a time before I had to duck behind a car door to warm up.
