USA Portland Head Light
One of the most photographed lighthouses in america, located in the Fort William Park, near Cape Elizabeth. Nice scenery with the rocks in the foreground.
Photography Tips
Climb on the the rocks (be careful, they're sometimes a bit slippery). But from there you have the best view. Sunset is nice, but sunrise is the better time. Daytime is okay, but not that much. Try long exposures, with different settings.
