Lighthouse at Great Point, November Evening, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts
This landscape photo of Great Point Light was made in November of 1990. In this photograph, the gray evening light has a touch of sunset pinks and oranges, while the lighthouse beacon glows high above.
Great Point is the wild, remote spit of sand that gives Nantucket Island its distinctive hook shape at the northeast end. A nature reserve, you need a permit to drive a vehicle onto it. A four wheel drive vehicle is required as well, because to get out the the extreme end of the Point you will be driving on a track across soft sand and some mudholes.
Photo location: Great Point, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.
