More Touristing

Looking at their map, Our Intrepid Tourists had seen the Owl's Head Lighthouse.

That looked like a good pick for their next stop.

They had a nice ride on back roads across to the Owls Head Lighthouse at the Owls Head State Park.

At the parking lot, The Fuzz saw this sign.

But there were no Baby Seals.

It must have been the wrong time of year.

But...

On the walk out to the lighthouse, The Fuzz did get a shot of this Schooner in the distance.

It wasn't far to the Lighthouse.

And there was a nice view from it.

And The Fuzz got another shot of that schooner.

And unlike his trip this Spring, this time, they actually got up into the Lighthouse!

Here's a look at the fascinating lens.

This is the original lens, that was used when the only light was from a whale oil lamp.  That is pretty amazing, how these lenses could concentrate that light enough to be seen far out to sea.

Of course now it's electric.

And here's one last look from the Lighthouse toward Rockland Harbor.

But alas, still no crashing waves!
