Nubble Lighthouse with dramatic skies

I love lighthouses they make me swoon.

As we (me and my pal Gail) were walking toward it

I was really excited because it looked so cool.

 As we got closer it became apparent that we weren't

gonna get up close and personal with it because it sits on an island.

If you look over to the left of the photo on that first telephone

pole looks like a zip line is employed to get across beause

it doesn't look to accessible even by boat - maybe on the other side....

 Lots of really cool rugged rocks and would the sea

cooperate by splashing up the rocks.

Nooo.....which would've been cool with the dramatic skies.

This lighthouse was built in 1879 and is still in use today

along with a foghorn that sends a warning out to passing ships.

It's on an island off of Cape Neddick point and stands

88 feet tall and is on the National Register of Historical Places as

the Cape Neddick Light Station.
