The View From Marshall Point

The View From Marshall Point

On our short break in New England, the same day I captured “Breakwater, Rockland, ME,” we found ourselves further south along the Maine coast.

Driving a bit aimlessly, we ended up at Marshall Point, where we discovered the Marshall Point Light Station, a lighthouse at the entrance of Port Clyde Harbor in Port Clyde, Maine. The light station was established in 1832.

It’s positioned at the end of a walkway that extends near the water and, as I found out much later, was featured in Tom Hanks's movie Forrest Gump (this is the easternmost point of Forrest's iconic run across the USA).

Still exploring on the gray, overcast day, I managed to capture a few shots, and upon reviewing them later, this was the one I liked the best. The small boat provides a perfect compositional counterpoint to the silhouette of Gunning Rocks (an Audubon Society preserve) in the distance and helps give a sense of scale to the image.
