Pemaquid Point lighthouse sits in what is, at least in my opinion, one of the most spectacular settings imaginable on the Maine coast.  Although the banner image above doesn't warrant my comment about the setting for this lighthouse, I think that some of the photos below and in the additional galleries do.

During the summer of 2007, the tower at Pemaquid Point was wrapped in scaffolding for the stone masons to work on restoration and needed repairs to the moartar joints in the tower.  While needed, the scaffolding rendered the lighthouse substantially less photogenic than it would normally be.  The images below were shot in August 2007 during the restoration work.  The images contained in the second gallery were shot in April 2008 when the work was completed on a day during the week when there were few other people visiting the lighthouse.
