Maine Lighthouses and Beyond: October 2013

Introduction

I have set up this site as a means to share my photographs of lighthouses. Since retiring and finding more time to study photography, my interests have expanded a little. For some of my work other than lighthouses please enjoy my Facebook page at, John Shaw Photography. Come visit, enjoy, and 'LIKE' if you wish.

Also, for your enjoyment, I have provided a slideshow of our journey. To view it please use the link on the right under 'Site Navigation Tools'.

I sincerely hope you enjoy my efforts and use my site not only for information and education but also to provide directions for many enjoyable, inspirational visits to the beacons along our beautiful coas.

Five Lighthouse Cruise From Rye, New Hampshire

On September 21st, 2013 my wife, Sandy, and I had the great pleasure of participating in the annual “Five Lighthouse Cruise” out of Rye, New Hampshire. It was sponsored by the Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses and was narrated by Jeremy D’Entremont, the foremost expert on the lighthouses of New England. (Click here for a Story on Jeremy) While the day continually changed from very overcast to partial sun, to thick fog, and back to overcast it was a delightful trip. Mr. D’Entremont always makes any excursion very informative and extremely enjoyable. And, since the early lighthouse keepers saw every possible weather condition imaginable, it is only fair that I photograph lighthouses in whatever conditions I find at the time of our visit.
