Why Fly to KBXM

I’m working on a fun project on why a pilot might choose to visit the Brunswick Executive Airport. Let me know what you think of it.

Finished Shooting the Lighthouses along the Midcoast

Now onto Penobscot Bay

Chilly and a tiny bit bumpy, but on February 26, we finished photographing the remaining lighthouses along the Midcoast and started to shoot the Penobscot Bay lights. More good news, the FAA has restored my 2nd class medical, but I find shooting while a qualified pilot flies is much better for both flying and picture taking. So, once again, thanks Jakob for going along with me.

Looking at some of these lighthouses in the Winter, you really begin to understand why lighthouse keepers had to be tough, both physically and mentally. Often cold and remote, they were really on their own for much of the winter. Now that all the lighthouses have been automated, the keepers’ job is gone, but their legacy remains. And while the lighthouses themselves are still standing for now, when will they tumble into the sea? As you’ve seen from shots of some of the the Casco Bay lighthouses their foundations are already underwater. Perhaps these 19th Century sentinels are giving us one last warning!

Yup, Winter

Local (to me) Lighthouses

On February 11, 2021, we started to reshoot and photograph for the first time, some of the lighthouses located close to the Brunswick area. Included are Doubling Point and the range, Squirrel Point, Perkins Island, Pond Island, Seguin, Hendricks Head, The Cuckolds and Burnt Island Lights. I’m using a new camera with a much higher resolution, which is very helpful, but I have a bit of a learning curve to overcome. Thank you Jakob for the piloting assist.
