This photo was taken from a ferry approaching Nantucket Island. As you can tell from my blog, I love lighthouses and Brant Point light (built in 1758) is a beauty! I also liked the low hanging clouds that looked to me like big, soft and fluffy cotton balls.
Nantucket is an island 30 miles south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The name of the island comes from Native American word "Natockete" meaning "faraway land." Nantucket is a very popular summer destination. The population of the island soars from approximately 10,000 to 50,000 during the summer months.

You live in such a beautiful part of the world! I love those white washed buildings and lighthouse.
That's a terrific scene and even more beautiful with those fluffy clouds.

I love lighthouses too, great shot of Brant Point and nice sky too. Thanks for sharing:)
Wow - you've been posting such gorgeous photos lately! I've been meaning to comment sooner, but when you stopped by my blog today, I thought this is it, I finally have to get over to Quiltworks! I've really been enjoying all your New England photos the past few weeks. We lived in Brockton MA for eight years before moving to CT nine years ago. I still miss the area and close proximity to Boston and the Cape A LOT! Keep 'em coming.
This is so beautiful - like a postcard. Can´t believe that the house can be placed so close to the water. I love the clouds!
your photo is wonderfully dreamy!
