Our Point of View: Fourteen Years at a Maine Lighthouse August 8, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
(From Tena Wallace) This book is absolutely amazing and that descriptive word doesn't even compare to the reality of the pictures and entries of your book. I don't think I have EVER read something and felt the emotion like I did with these entries. To read and feel the sandess, heartache, the joy and excitement along with the horror is the most amazing reader experience.
This book makes a great gift, it's not a one time read, it is a book to be enjoyed over and over!

Great pictures of a Maine Lighthouse taken by someone who lived next to the structure for many years.
A joy to read and a 'must' for anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse in our day and age. June 3, 2007

In 1987, Thomas and Lee Szelog were two lighthouse enthusiasts who visited a series of Main shoreline beacons for their second date. Two years later (and now married) they moved into the lightkeeper's house at the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine. Tom kept a journal, as did Lee. Tom is also an award-winning photographer. Drawing from those journals and Tom's gift for photography, the wrote and illustrated "Our Point Of View: Fourteen Years At A Maine Lighthouse" in which they share their experiences, excitement, and pleasures of living at a lighthouse in every season and through all manner of weather. They even celebrate the gulls, cormorants, whales, seals who turn up at their door, as well as the people meeting and marrying in the shadow of their lighthouse beacon. Simply put, "Our Point Of View" is a joy to read and a 'must' for anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse in our day and age.
