This 58-foot lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth since 1791 has saved many lives (but not this one) www.PortlandHeadlight.com

Maine is famous for scenes like this. The coastline's jagged rocks threaten all ships passing by.

When the weather is warm this is such a peaceful scene. This is the oldest lighthouse in Maine.

Rusted cannon at Fort Williams, sits close to old rusty bell. Yes this was a military installation dating from 1873. Military activity here ceased in 1964.

This is the picture we imagined before traveling to Maine.

We decided to climb down and see from another perspective.

It symbolizes the people and coastline of Maine - rugged, persevering and unwavering.

Many dinners were caught in traps like this, set close to shore.

This was a very enjoyable walk.
