The Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse in Rockland, Maine is a stunning sight, especially during the annual lighthouse opening event in September. To reach the lighthouse, visitors must traverse a man-made rocky breakwater that stretches nearly a mile. It was during one of these treks that I stumbled upon this breathtaking scene. As I climbed to the top of the lighthouse, I noticed a boat in the distance making its way towards us.
