The Sun Rising on Nubble Lighthouse………..ME
The Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse, York Beach, ME photographed from about two miles accross the ocean at York Beach during sunrise.

Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.3 MP full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 200-600 F5.6-6.3 telephoto lens at 600mm. 1/640th, f8, ISO 400, Aperture Priority
