Several years ago while visiting Maine, its famous Portland Lighthouse was under renovation. It is covered in scaffolding and tarps being transformed.

Excellent historic and documentary image and you capture so well the wildness of the location.

Great framing and place Ruthie. This lighthouse is getting a makeover, and I hope you'll be able to show it to us when the tarpaulins come off.

It all feels so "secret" until it's finally revealed!

Though shrouded by scaffolding, the lighthouse retains its enchanting allure as a sentinel of the sea. A wonderful photo capturing the theme of transformation.

What a great picture, Ruthie. Maybe a little disappointing NOT to see the lighthouse. I know that was quite the walk, I was there just before the pandemic. My SIL and BIL lived in Maine and just moved back to Michigan where we will visit them in October again.
I love the point of view in this picture.
Have a wonderful day!

Yes, I would like to see it later, at the end of the renovation work.
The sky is beautiful.

He is on the front line to endure the assaults of wind and water.
As solid as it is, at some point it suffers from the ravages of time and it needs to be given a makeover.

Beautiful composition !

Nice to see that the lighthouse is in restoration.

Wonderful shot. The lighthouse is constantly exposed to mother nature so maintenance is required.

the desaturated colors work well beneath the gloomy sky. Sad to see the lighthouse wrapped until you realized that it will probably emerge refreshed and beautiful when the spring tourist season starts

The wrapped up lighthouse creates a different view and is perfect for the prompt. I love the gray, dramatic sky and the view of the water. A beautiful composition.

I have seen this lighthouse, but not covered up like this. I hope the transformation went well.

Un sacré lifting pour ce phare ! Il va ressortir comme un jeune homme.
