Photo of the Week - Springtime at Fort Point Light





Stockton Springs, Maine

During the April photography trip to Maine, I visited several lighthouses for the first time. One of them was the charming Fort Point Light. The current structure was built in 1857, and part of its appeal is the adjacent lightkeeper’s home. The station is a centerpiece of the 120-acre Fort Point State Park. It is located on the eastern tip of Cape Jellison and overlooks the mouth of the Penobscot River.

  1. All new to me! I have never even seen it in a photograph. It looks more like a New England farmhouse than a lighthouse...totally charming!

  6. Trying to catch up on posts. You've been busy! The lighthouse photos are gorgeous! There's something so symbolic about a lighthouse. A sign of safety and home. My grandma used to sing a song "I thank God for the lighthouse, I owe my life to Him...". Fond memory triggered by your photos. :)
