Lighting the Way

Description

When I was planning my trip to Maine, one thing I really wanted to do was be at the Portland Head Light at sunset one evening. After dinner at Mabel’s Lobster Claw in Kennebunkport, we headed up the coast to try to get to the lighthouse. Of course, in a fit of excellent luck, a car essentially spontaneously combusted on the turnpike, causing a major traffic jam. After a little “creative driving”, we managed to make it to the lighthouse about 10 minutes before they were planning to shut the gate. On the plus side, the park ranger seemed more concerned about getting us to leave than the fact I was climbing on some huge rock to take some of my shots.
