Portland Head Light

Portland, Maine

Amazing what you find that you previously rejected...
This is looking north toward Portland Harbor, just a short time before sunset. It had been a very warm day (about 90 degrees F) but the sun was setting, and the temperature was dropping like a rock, as the Atlantic fog on the cold water (usually about 54-56 degrees this time of year) would suggest.

Nikon D50 ,Nikkor 50/1.8 AFD
1/80s f/10.0 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Terry, thanks. I don't see how anyone gets anywhere near the Sound water at any point. That Alaska Current is nasty...
Sally, Cindy, Fred and Lynn, thank you. Thanks to our guest as well...

Hey, Michael! This is really good!!!
BTW, our Puget Sound water runs about 49 degrees F year round :)
