Of Nubbles And Goat Islands And The Number 100

100th Post Lighthouse Celebration Extravaganza Time!!

Hello, and welcome to my 100th photo blog post! I know - pretty exciting! We're nearing the end of the Maine 2004 photos. I've shuffled the order a bit, so that I can make Portland Head Light the finalé, next time. First, we have this stuff. Above: Goat Island Light (via the 500mm reflex lens), near Kennebunkport, ME.

One last jaunt down the Kennebec River for a sunlit 500mm shot of Doubling Point Light.

Here's Whaleback Ledge Light, at the southern tip of Maine.

Here's Portsmouth Harbor Light, in New Castle, New Hampshire.

And here we have Portsmouth Harbor AND Whaleback Ledge Lights. Whoopee!

After a long, hot, massively mud-puddly hike, we were still a couple of miles from Wood Island Lighthouse. Here's the 500mm shot. I think I could live there.

One of Maine's most famous lighthouses is Cape Neddick's Nubble Light, near York. The two shots above (first one by [Maris], second by Joe) required an hour wait for two minutes of sun, with a wall of storm clouds offshore. Totally worth it.

Finally, a quick stop on our way out of town the next day, to shoot this perfect little island again, this time under a blue sky.

Next up, Portland Head perfection. Thanks for sticking with me this far. Here's to the next 100 posts...
