The mouth of the Annisquam opens to Ipswich Bay. A canal was cut to through Gloucester so that the Annisquam could be used by boats to navigate through Cape Ann rather than around it. This light overlooks Ipswich Bay and has views of Plum Island and New Hampshire.
A Coast Guard family lives in this house. Since I knew that no one was home when I was shooting, I took this picture. But normally, I would not invade their privacy.
I'm not digging the lates Picasa version that was forced on us. It seems to export photos with lower highlights. Shame they have to mess with a good thing.

What gorgeous shots, Steve! I love lighthouses and this one is really lovely and particularly against the beautiful clear sky! Lovely house, too. Such beautiful skies, soft colors and not a cloud!!! Hope you have a great weekend!

There is nothing more to say than again it was incredibly beautiful photos!
Lighthouses rock, cool photos, Steve. That family has a pretty sweet dwelling spot, eh?
Beautiful skies.

Love how crisp these look and the high contrast against the sky...beautiful! Have a great weekend :o)
Captivating. So beautiful!
I especially like the second one Steve. It has such a mystery about it.
Beautiful,Lovely and fantastic Shots !!Simply Great !!
Hi Steve,
Wow you are getting very nice pictures of your surroundings! I love these two shots a lot... The settings are perfect and the sky beautiful!
Winderful light - and I presume taken on Thurs, the first day with clear skies and good light. We made a very casual circuit of Cape ann on Wed.
These are great images Steve and such beautiful clear sky.
I love both these photos! The first, with the waves and the late afternoon light is simply wonderful! And the house in the deeper twilight is something you have to make stories about! What are the lights in all the windows? Where are the people?
Sheer perfection. Thank you.
These are really nice.
Is that Picasa 3 you are referring to? I have been unhappy with some of the Blogger updates recently.
Lighthouses, my favorite. Thanks. Carol
Breathtakingly beautiful! WOW!
Even if there were no light houses in these special places, the locations that they are built upon have some of the greatest features to explore and experience. And now the lighthouses highlight that which is already unique.
As always, Steve, just phenomenal shots! This is the Golden Hour writ large.
I only use Picasa's web albums and upload using the web client. It may take a bit longer that way, but I'm pretty much guaranteed that what I edit is what's uploaded.
Hello from Germany!
I hope you remeber: we met at Annisquam Beach in October 2010. Together with my girlfried we were waiting for the perfect light to take pics of the lighthouse.
Right now (!) I clean up all my souvenirs I brought with me from our US trip. And - what I've found: your long lost business card including url :-)
Great photos you have!!!
My Annisquam pic (and some others, e.g. Pemaquid Point) is uploaded at F l i c k r
I ll check out your other pics now; hope we can keep in touch!
Greetings from Kiel, Germany
Alex
