Description
The most photographed site in Maine is the iconic view of the Portland Headlight at Cape Elizabeth. This is where Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who is my cousin and lived 2 houses down from my Nana, composed several of his poems. I have memories of being here with my family and this is where I came Sept 12, 2001 for peace and reflection after the events of the day before. This shot was taken June 2013.

John Haldane replied:
Thank you Barbara! The Park guards kick everyone out at sunset and lock the gates, so it is tough to get shots like this. :)

Great photo! Looks like a great place to go and get away from the stress of the world.
John Haldane replied:
Thank you Mike - it is! In fact, I went there Sept 12, 2001 to get away from the stress and news of that terrible day before.
