Casco Bay Sunrise

The sun was already blinding when I took this picture of it coming up right behind Ram Island Ledge Light. There are two more lighthouses in this picture: Seguin Island Light is in silhouette, barely visible on the horizon, lower left on the sun's disk. That lighthouse is about 22 miles away! And off to the right, hard to see, is Halfway Rock Light, about 9 miles out. Not in the picture, but just off to my right is the famous Portland Head Light. This photo is taken from Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth, ME using a Tamron 150-600 mm lens at 600mm.

Compare to the next picture, taken a few moments later, with the sun higher and brighter still.
