The lighthouse at Pemaquid Point in Maine sits high on a mass of metamorphic and igneous rock that is sculpted by relentless waves crashing in. The stone forms ripples, ridges and stair steps, a perfect summer playground for the intrepid. The really brave stand as close to the thundering sea as possible and feel its power as the spray bathes their faces. Others sit motionless on ledges, drinking in the sea air and meditating on the ultimate authority of nature.
Pemaquid Light is depicted on Maine's contribution to the U.S. state quarter series.
