Monhegan Light Bell - Saturday morning.



I think I'll make this in to a postcard.  Let me know if you want me to mail you one.  The Monhegan Island, Maine lighthouse keepers home, and that great bell on the hilltop front lawn. Some lights are at on the seashore, others are on the highest point.  Monhegan light is on the highest point overlooking this painters island 14 miles off the Maine coast.  The green patina on the bell shines in the morning light, the mainland & Port Clyde in the background.  The light sweeps the dark [not much electricity and no cars to light the dirt roads] over the island every night.  No lighthouse keeper anymore.  It is controlled by radio transmission from the Coast Guard Station in Portland.
