Many of the still-existing lighthouses on the coast of Maine sit offshore, at the eastern tip of remote islands. A proud and dramatic beauty can be seen in these structures and their rugged environments. For this newsletter, I selected lighthouses that are easily accessible by car or that can be photographed with a telephoto lens from the mainland.

Some were damaged by war and many were destroyed by the violence of nature. Light keepers risked their own lives to keep their lamps burning.
