| Trip to Maine... The purpose of this trip was to photograph as many lighthouses as possible. I stayed with a friend and spent one full day visiting lighthouses, which started in Bar Harbor. I ran into very heavy traffic on the roads to the lighthouses and that afternoon I ran into a very severe thunderstorm. I only photographed a few lighthouses. I suggest photographing the lighthouses from a kayak!!!! That will be my next trip. However, I did enjoy the Lobster my last night in Maine!!!!! |
