Photo of the Week – May 27, 2024

Lighthouse – Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine

We continue to rummage through the Archives to recycle some favorites from bygone days.  This shot was taken in Summer 2000, on a non-sunny day. Since then, I’ve seen this one (there are several in the Park area) frequently in articles/pictures, etc, so perhaps it’s ‘famous’.  A little digging suggests this is Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse on Mount Desert Island, and was built in 1858.  (For another shot – not mine – on a clearer day with bluer skies, see Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse)
