Description
Nubble Light, one of the most photographed spots in New England, at the magic hour just before sunrise. The Cape Neddick Lighthouse stands on Nubble Island about 100 yards (91 m) off Cape Neddick Point. It is commonly known as Nubble Light or simply The Nubble. Cape Neddick Point is at the north end of Long Sands Beach in the village of York Beach. The lighthouse is inaccessible to the general public, but the nearby mainland is occupied by Sohier Park which offers a telescope with which to view the lighthouse and a gift shop with a "Nubble" theme. Cape Neddick Light is one of the last eight lights in Maine to still have its Fresnel lens. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Cape Neddick Light Station on April 16, 1985. My favorite thing about this image is the position of the flag, long may she wave.

The flag position is great, but I love the pink sea best. I am so envious of you all who get up before dawn. I am too lazy. l/f

Jenny, thanks very much. I'm probably sleeping while you're getting all those great nighttime shots.
