Tourist Guide

Turning in the Opposite direction of the nubble lighthouse you can watch the waves crashing on the beautiful rocks along the edge of the gulf of Maine. #GreatOutdoors
This is a little church that sits in a curve on highway 80 going towards the Blue Ridge Parkway. I always take pictures of this church in the fall time with all the fall colors but this is the first time I've taken a picture in the spring.
The lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth is one of the most photographed light houses in Maine. I use the wide-angle lens here in the shot.
Following the northern route of Vermont Route 100 , I passed this lovely bridge with all of the fall colors and had to stop and take a photo.
This beautiful, quiet Lake Tahoma is home to several private estates and the landmark Lake Tahoma Dam. #MyBackyard #laketahoma #reflection #marion #northcarolina
