Images of lighthouses

    Nubble Light in Black & White

    Perched atop a rocky island just off the coast of York, Maine, Nubble Light stands as one of New England’s most recognizable lighthouses. The American flag adds a subtle sense of movement, a reminder that while the lighthouse no longer needs to guide ships with its beam, it still stands as a symbol—of safety, solitude, and coastal resilience.

    I’ve visited Nubble Light many times, but there’s something about seeing it in monochrome that feels especially classic—like it could have been captured yesterday or a century ago.

    Looking Down on History

    I’ve been visiting Scituate Light for years — it’s one of my regular bicycle destinations whenever I’m in the Scituate/Humarock area visiting friends and family.

    In 2023 the lighthouse underwent restoration, and I was able to watch the work on the tower as it progressed. I decided to bring my drone down and capture a rare aerial perspective of the lighthouse.

    This overhead view of Scituate Lighthouse under restoration offers an intimate look at a piece of maritime history mid-renewal. Shot directly from above, the image reveals the octagonal tower’s exposed brickwork and the ongoing structural work.

    Scituate Light has stood guard since 1811. With each bolt and board placed during this restoration, it’s being readied to face another century of Atlantic wind and tide.
