    Beautiful lighting - I love the lighthouse. Your photos often take me out of my dusty desert town to feel that salty breeze. Thanks!

    Ah yes, a lighthouse. I knew if I were patient, I'd get one.

    We visited here on a cruise to Canada (it was supposed to be a cruise to Bermuda but a hurricane changed our itinerary). It was a lovely town.

    Nice views from around Portland.
    I like the lighthouse from a visual point of view, but I'm partial to the pub with its artistic invitation for a pint :)

    Add me to the list of lighthouse fans! For all the time I've spent in Maine, I generally drive right through Portland to points north. We should stop for a day or two.

    Ahhh, a lighthouse, rocks and ocean . . . what more could anyone want? Beautiful photos, Caite.

    Usually, I would drive through Portland, stopping to see a sight or two and driving on. This time, I decided to stay a couple of days and I still could have used more time to see everything I wanted to see.

    Great shots. I especially like the third one, with the small boats and the people on the left side balanced by the bulk of the cruise ship on the right. Your composition always reveals a good eye.

    I love the view from your Portland. My Portland is gray and rainy and definitely not so picturesque at the moment.

    Look at all those sailboats by the pier compared against the cruise ship in the distance.
