Maine Coast Days 5 and 6

Well it is time to update the blog with photos from days 5 and 6 on the Maine coast. The photos are below with descriptions.

On day 5 we visited Owls Head lighthouse just south of Rockland. This lighthouse makes you realize how dangerous it is navigating the water at night or in the fog.

Day 6 was spent around the house after two busy days. I did take a short trip to Belfast to get some shots of the harbor and city from across the bay. I was restless in the evening so I set out to Fort Point lighthouse to take photos. Afterward, I stopped by Stockton Harbor to get some late evening photos.

Maine Coast

It has been a little while since I have posted on my blog. I have been busy with family and catching up on other work that needed to be done. Now I am on the coast of Maine on vacation. In the next few days I will be adding vacation photos. Check back daily for updates. On to the photos...

First, here are a couple of photos from our first day.
