Day 13.355: Fort Williams Park (December edition)

Three of us had a lovely visit to Fort Williams Park this morning:

We did the full tour and enjoyed peering into the Goddard Mansion:

The Portland Head Light was looking very fine - with new paint and a very large wreath for the holidays. this view includes the rocks known as the ledge where the Annie C. Maguire was shipwrecked. Someone wrote a song about that a few years ago.

We also had great views of the Ram Island Ledge Light:

and - down the coast to Cape Elizabeth Light (one of the Two Lights of the state park fame):

and up the coast to Spring Point Ledge Light (at the end of a large breakwater in the center right of this view up the coast towards Portland:

It's also possible that we caught a glimpse of  Halfway Rock Light - if so, it's the first time it's been clear enough for it to catch our eye - just visible floating on a mirage haze just above the horizon on the right below:
