The Doubling Point Lighthouse was a bit tricky to find but we did manage to do so on a gloriously sunny day. I'd never seen a lighthouse this "short"! But it obvious it gets the job done because it's well-cared for and so picturesque! What was interesting here as well, was the fact that on shore there was very little wind but out at the end of the peer where you could walk around the lighthouse, it was quite breezy!
A little additional history and information: The Doubling Point Lighthouse is located on the Kennebec River in Arrowsic, Maine where the river takes two hazardous double bends around the northwest end of Arrowsic Island. Built and commissioned in 1899, the little white lighthouse is still in operation today. It is 23 feet above mean high water and shows a flashing white light every 4 seconds which can be seen for 9 nautical miles.
No need to comment on all the posts today- I've got some catching up to do!
Fabulous. Now I wish I had walked out there. But my sore leg is just getting back to normal. I am going to down load this so I can have a view you took. Hope that is okay.
@randystreat This lighthouse sits on a section of the Kennebec River in Arrowsic, Maine, marking off the start of two hazardous double bends in its flow (hence the name Doubling Point). So, your guess as to why it's so short was pretty close to accurate as there are no cliffs here whatsoever.
@joansmor Sure, or I can send it to you via email if you want- but don't print it out (hint hint on Christmas).
And for those who commented on the frame- this was a really cool frame I discovered in Smart Photo Editor (goodness knows if I'll find it again!) that took the picture itself and made a frame with it.
@olivetreeann Mo i just want it for my catalog as part of my memory of your trip. I have category for my friend photos. My lightroom catalog is like a journal of my life.
Thank you for all your views, comments and favs!
