Well technically a sunburst. But the sun is a star and a sunburst isn't a tasty candy so "Starburst" it is. Taken along the Marginal Way in Ogunquit, Maine. One of my favorite stretches of coast anywhere, the Marginal Way runs from Perkinc Cove to Ogunquit Beach providing easy access to dramatic rocky coastline and sandy beaches alike.
The sun rises over Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, Maine. During the fall and winter months, those who brave the howling winds and frigid temps at Cadillacs' peak are rewarded with the first touch of the suns light in America. If you decide to see it for yourself, come prepared. Dress warm and expect crowds bigger than you would reasonable expect for an experience that requires a pre dawn wake-up call and a winding drive around the mountain.
Technically there are two lighthouses in this image. To the left is possibly the most famous of all lighthouses The Portland Head Lighthouse (just the very edge) and in the far far distance is Ram Island Ledge Lighthouse (fairly recently purchased for $190,000 by a local surgeon). So technically I suppose this is a lighthouse pic. That being said, PHL is situated on some of the best publicly accessible seaside real estate for miles. Jagged rocks, steep cliffs, decent surf, they all add up to a great place to shoot seascapes with or without a lighthouse or two.
