Description

Photo was taken on a recent trip to Maine with friends from a local photography club http://www.northeastphotographyclub.org. Four photographers and our wives travelled first to York Beach to get some shots of Nubble Lighthouse. The next day we travelled North to Rockport where we stayed for remainder of trip and travelled daily to different destinations. After the daily trips we returned to our rental which had an artist studio where we could look at the days work and process them exchanging ideas and tips for the next days adventure.This photo was taken while on a visit to Cape Elizabeth near Portland. It is sometimes referred to as Portland Head Lighthouse. A walking path offers vantage points to enjoy the views of the lighthouse, the lobster boats coming and going,beach scenes and surrounding foilage. Having taken a number of shots at the lighthouse I decided to hike a walking path that provides for many different angles and views of the area. An unexpected view was this scene of these girls in evening gowns playing in the surf. Another woman was taking pictures I can only guess as to the purpose, maybe yearbook photos? I titled this "Expect The Unexpected" since I was actually in search of a tree someone in our group had told me about. I will be adding further photos from this trip and they will be viewable in a gallery on my FAA website. http://1-jim-cook.artistwebsites.com/.
