Last Thursday morning, a trawler motors past Portland Head Light, which stands just a few miles south of Portland, Maine, USA. A cloud of seagulls trails the ship as it heads to safe harbor.
It might not be needed on this beautiful day featuring calm seas, but the lighthouse has helped protect ships from Maine's rocky shores for over 200 years.
The town of Cape Elizabeth maintains a beautiful park, featuring numerous flower beds and hikes of easy to moderate difficulty.
