Maine Photography - Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse
Sunset casts a warm glow over the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse as it sits perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the rocky granite shores of Acadia National Park’s Mount Desert Island in Maine. The lighthouse dates to 1855 and is currently the private residence of a local Coast Guard employee. We didn’t abandon our spot to capture this beautiful sunset shot until after four hours when the tide rose around our ankles.
