USA Little River Lighthouse
The Little River is an east–west tidal inlet on the coast of Down East Maine, with the town of Cutler on its northern bank. At the mouth of the inlet stands Little River Island, near whose easternmost point the lighthouse stands. The station consists of a tower, keeper's house, oilhouse, and boathouse. The tower is an iron structure, with a supporting frame of steel and brick. It is 35 feet (11 m) tall, with an octagonal lantern house surrounded by a metal balcony and railing. Entrance is gained via a projecting gable-roofed vestibule. The keeper's house is an L-shaped two-story wood-frame structure, with a shed-roof ell across one side. The oilhouse is a small brick gable-roofed structure set a short way inland. The boathouse, a simple wood-frame structure, is located at the western end of the island, connected to the rest of the station by a wooden boardwalk
Photography Tips
You will get very direct light at sunrise on this lighthouse if it is not a foggy morning, If it is foggy before sunrise there is a good chase the sunrise will burn it off so you just need to be patient. Watch the weather and keep winds in the ocean can be very unforgiving to lighter drones in this area.
Travel Information
I recommend parking at the post office in town and taking the short 0.60-mile Eastern Knubble trail to the beach and then launching your drone from there.
