Very Nice Tammy!! I too list Pemaquid as my favorite Maine light, we have always stopped there on our Maine trips.. I can say it's my favorite Maine light only because East Quoddy is in Canada, though.. You really moved your feet! Great Job!
Onward to The Land of the Midnight Sun!

Wonderful pictures,Tammy! I, being a Maine native, also love Pemiquid. Love your pictures of the reflections in the tidal pool. It seems like I have never had enough time to spend there. I think next time I need to spend several days so I can be there for sunrise, sunsets and maybe even a moose!

Tammy, where was the airport and airline did you got the plane for the tour? Also did you see other lighthouses from the air?

Kay,
The airport was in Wiscasset. Besides Pemaquid, I saw Monhegan, Heron's Neck, Whitehead, Franklin Island and Doubling Point and one of the Doubling Point Range Lights. (I did post aerial photos of all the lights except for Doubling Point.) Doubling Point and Whitehead were not planned, and I just had one pass by those lights. The pilot had a small (two seater) Cessna. They are great because the pilot can slow the speed of the plane more than a larger plane. However, they don't go as fast. So, it takes longer to get from one light to the next. There was another light that I wanted to see, but the pilot didn't want to go that distance with that plane.
Heron's Neck was my favorite from the air. I'm not sure if it was freshly painted. It was bright white with full sun, and I struggled trying not to blow out the highlights.
If you want rate info or the pilot's contact information, send me a message. Else, you may find doing a google search.
Tammy

Those are fabulous photos. I would love someday to be able to photograph lighthouses from a plane. We love Pemaquid and these pics are among the very best we have seen. Thanks, Judy

Yes Tammy I would like to have contact information, Maybe some of the other forum members would like to know also for future trips. I usually go up several times a year. My daughter live in Maine and when I was up there in October, she suggested that we go lighthousing. Of course I was delighted! We went to the Rockland area. We saw Rockland Breakwater, Owl's Head and Rockland Harbor Southwest. I had seen the first two several times but not Rockland Harbor Southwest. I had tried to find it in the past but never did. This time we did! It is privately owned and the owners live next door.
