Marshall Pt Light, Maine. If you remember the movie "Forest Gump," where he runs out the gangway, pictured below, & up to the light marking the furthest east point in the US, it is not. The furthest east point is the West Quoddy Head Light near Lebec, Maine. The house below, I found to be kind of creepy. Inside, they had photos of the families who had lived there. I don't believe in ghosts, but those photos looked lonely & felt very ghostly.

Color landscape photo of a lighthouse. It shows a very stormy sky with dark puffy clouds and a orange sunset behind a distant tree covered spit of land sticking out into the ocean. In the foreground on the left is a small white tower with a bright rotating light on top. There is a long white painted gangway for the lighthouse keeper to access the light tower. The tower is around 15-20 feet tall and the gangway is around 70 feet long. It is dry under the gangway and around the light because the tide is out. A Victorian style two-story house stands at the right side of the frame. It has a large bay window area extending up from the first floor and the second floor. A flag pole stands between the gangway and the house. There is a US flag at the top, a nautical flag of some sort on the lower left, and presumably the state flag of Maine on the lower right. A large ship's bell is on the lawn in front of the house and a picnic table and a few large rocks are on the right side of the frame.

Meet Some of the Strangest Deep-Sea Creatures, from ‘Sea Pigs’ to ‘Disco Worms’

No free shuttle for me! On days like today when my car is getting worked on, I turn it into a #cycling adventure. After driving to the mechanic with my bike on the back of the car, I cycle home taking a very scenic route. Then return by bike to pick up my car. Do this year ‘round, rain or shine (and it is shining bright today! 😀). #ocean #beach #nature

Photo of bicycle parked on a sidewalk at the edge of a harbor that connects to the ocean. Blue sky overhead with puffy white clouds. Rocky jetty and land mass can be seen on far side of harbor.
