Portland Head Lighthouse

The Portland Head Lighthouse was originally built with funds appropriated by President Washington in 1791!  Another interesting fact - which helps explain the following multiple pictures of this lighthouse - is that it is the MOST photographed lighthouse in the world....and I can attest to that fact as there were many angles that were as unique as the previous.  Here are the best of my many shots......
