This was my grandfather's favorite place in the world. He was really involved in civil rights and caring everyone in his community and each of the students that he served. This light house has become a symbol in our family of him and whenever I see this image I am reminded of the light he brought to the world. The fact that you two chose to spend your time there honestly almost makes me tear up. So many people have deep connections to different places and views, making them meaningful in so many different ways. This was what I thought of when I watched this, and I am wondering what others were thinking/feeling.
When my mom passed away, my sisters and I made a trip to Maine to spread her ashes. During that trip we visited all of her favorite places, restaurants and shops. The Nubble was my favorite stop. Thanks for sharing this. She loved that lighthouse.
I had to write an observation for my English class, and decided to write it on this video. Listening to the waves crash and describing what I saw was honestly so peaceful
Thank you, Hank, this video was very relaxing. I've been having panic attacks again the last few weeks and this helped to quiet my mind for a little while 😊
Hank, This is a place I have visited every year since I was born. A place that has seen me through so many trying times. And today I needed this video of my favorite place and audio of the eocean more than ever. Thank you.
As stressed out as I am lately, this was acctually a much needed break for me, and a reminder to go outside when everything feels too much. Thank you Hank!
Oh my god I live in Maine and visit the Nubble all the time! It's so beautiful during Christmas when the lighthouse and the little buildings are lit up. Sitting there on the rocks is one of my happy places.
Growing up, this used to be one of my absolute favorite places to go and rest from the world and be alone and still and happy. Thank you for bringing us this, Hank! My happy place right on my computer no matter how far away I am. Possibly my new favorite UA-cam video ever.
This reminds me of what it's like to watch a crowd instead of an event. Like, you can have pictures upon pictures of something like a rocket launch. But swivel the camera around and watch the crowd instead, and suddenly the moment is much more real. We can see thousands of pictures of monuments and mountains, but the moments behind them are even more beautiful. Take pictures of a monument under restoration, capture images of people enjoying the view, and watch a world of sunlight instead of just watching the sun and sky. Beauty isn't just in its own epicenter--it's in everything around it and in everything it touches. I'm sure there's an artsy and psychological way to talk about it in terms of focal point and attention :) But I'll just drift off in these ocean waves for now.
Didn't think I'd enjoy this one once I realized what it was; but after reading the description and a few comments I changed my mind and decided I'd at least try. Thanks for this Hank, your brain is awesome.
Hank, I cannot explain to you just how much I needed this today without sounding a bit crazy. Ultimately, I was a huge stress ball today and had been seeking something calming when this popped up on my watch list. Thank you so much! All the best to you and your family!
I have a feeling that this video will quickly become my most watched ever. Also, why have I never thought to do this before? There have been a few times that I am in a space so relaxing and I try to hold on to that memory, but over time it fades. I might have to record some minutes of those places in the future! Until then, thank you SO much for this piece of beauty!
Oh My Gosh!! I was at this lighthouse during the summer & I feel in love with it!! Since then I've been wishing to go back & this video did that for me! Thank You So Much!!!! I really needed this today Thank You!!
my gram and pop always used to go to maine on vacation, so after my pop died, my family and i would take my gram to maine every couple of years. three years ago was our last time bringing her; pretty soon after that, we had to move her into a nursing home, and a few months later, she died. my gram loved, loved, LOVED lighthouses. and nubble lighthouse was one of her very favorites. so that last trip in maine, we drove to nubble lighthouse and sat there watching the water for a while. at the time i was pretty impatient, and i kind of regret that now. anyway, thanks for posting this. it reminds me of that trip, and my gram, and that taking some time to just breathe and watch the water is important.
OMFGoodness! This is the lighthouse I always went to as kid. I have so many wonderful memories there. Hank I'm still experiencing post NerdCon Nerdfighteria feelings and you post THIS! 😄😭😄😭 all the feelings
I have been to Nubble so many times in my life and I have never seen the tide so low. I scared me for a moment. Other than that, this video is calming and reminds me of my childhood visiting York Beach with my family. Thank you.
I'm having a really bad day and I'm in the process of catching up on my youtube subscription videos from the last couple of weeks and I really REALLY needed to see this today. Thank you so much for this Hank.
Thank you Hank, this is home for me, but I'm currently in Illinois for college. I was really sad I couldn't go home for nerdcon and feeling homesick in general. This was just what I needed to get me through until spring break
it is everything and nothing at all. Imagine sitting on those rocks one day in the future with your dog and you think to yourself im here because on a Thursday in march 2017 it relaxed me and i wanted to see it in real life.
I put this on full screen and left click and turn on the loop function. It plays all day as my window on a wonderful sunset and the audio is really really soothing as background sounds.
So I have always thought time ought not to be killed, but sometimes I also think it wasn't meant to be spent. Sometimes, I spend my time trying to work hard enough to buy myself a future where I don't worry about the passing minutes as I try to finish my homework, a place where somehow the clocks don't try to measure me anymore. But time is not money. Time is just the sunlight goldening and waves lapping over me. I think I need to let go. I need to just let it happen. Thoughts?
Sarah Burgess John Lennon famously said "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." Working hard now to enjoy life later can be a dangerous path, as often later comes too late, or sometimes not at all. So be careful young padiwon, and do your best to always enjoy the now.
I agree with you completely. Yes, we have years ahead of us. Yes, we should prepare for those coming years. But we should not spend /all/ of today preparing for tomorrow.
this is really so nice and relaxing, it made me realize how tense I am just as my natural state of being.... but also, this video didn't show up in my subscription feed - anyone else have this problem??
same! i've been checking my notifications for any videos i may have missed when i catch up on my feed but i so rarely find an instance where that's happened, but it happened with this one :/
Really pretty, but I think I woulda liked it better if I was there. The sound of the waves is half of it, I want to smell the water, be close to it, it's such a wonderful feeling... Would make the beauty all the more engrossing.
Hank why were you in Maine! I live in Maine and it seems like noone visits us, I would love to have you here and come see you sometime! Hope you enjoyed it here!
I was here in August of 2015. I sat down and sketched the island and lighthouse from this vantage point. The water level was higher than what I see in this video, I wonder what that's about. Tides? Seeing this brings back some fond memories. Thanks for sharing, Hank!
This reminded me somewhat of the setting of "Dear Esther". I got violently sick going through that virtual story, for some reason this unsettles me. I can see why others would find this nice though :D
I spent the entire video trying to figure out if the tide was coming in or going out. I finally decided on coming in. It was so calming to just focus on the waves though.

Well that was relaxing. I'll probably go to this video in the future in stressful moments. Nice video, Hank!

Sometimes the simplest of things in nature are the most beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Hank! :)
I'm bookmarking this to fall asleep to later.
Oh My Gosh!! I was at this lighthouse during the summer & I feel in love with it!! Since then I've been wishing to go back & this video did that for me! Thank You So Much!!!! I really needed this today Thank You!!
My family always vacationed at Wells Beach in Maine when I was a kid. This reminded me of some really fun times. Thanks Hank. I needed this today.
Thank you! This was 10 minutes of much needed peaceful tranquillity. It happens so little nowadays.
This so peaceful, thank you Hank.
One of my favorite places in the world. It's unreal how beautiful and serene that spot is.
my gram and pop always used to go to maine on vacation, so after my pop died, my family and i would take my gram to maine every couple of years. three years ago was our last time bringing her; pretty soon after that, we had to move her into a nursing home, and a few months later, she died.

I like that your channel doesn't have any kind of format. You can post whatever you want.
This is awesome! I'm keeping this for anxiety "red alert" days :)
i really liked the sound of the waves
Thank you so much for this, Hank! I meditated tonight using this video and it was so wonderful.
I need this to be playing all day, every day. Thank you.
Added this to my "Watch Later" playlist for background noise. Thanks, Hank.
OMFGoodness! This is the lighthouse I always went to as kid. I have so many wonderful memories there. Hank I'm still experiencing post NerdCon Nerdfighteria feelings and you post THIS! 😄😭😄😭 all the feelings
i need a 10-15 hour version of this to play when i sleep.
as a person with tinnitus who needs some background sounds to keep themselves distracted, this was very calming. thank you♡
I needed this ❤️
This is super-relaxing. I think I'll just leave this on in the background while I finish up my work.
I have been to Nubble so many times in my life and I have never seen the tide so low. I scared me for a moment. Other than that, this video is calming and reminds me of my childhood visiting York Beach with my family. Thank you.
Ooooh that's one of my very favorite places, I'm glad you got to see it! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in NH and MA and ME.
I'm having a really bad day and I'm in the process of catching up on my youtube subscription videos from the last couple of weeks and I really REALLY needed to see this today. Thank you so much for this Hank.
This is so calm and peaceful
Dude what a beautiful shot, I love the composition
I'm so glad you went here, my family loves coming to Nubble Light when we're in the Maine/NH area!
whaaaat i live right next to york! this is one of my favorite places ever, i used to walk by that light house all the time. the beach is beautiful too
I have paired this with a 10 hour video someone made of a fireplace and now have two screen savers that will also save my sanity. Thanks !
Hope you enjoyed your time in Maine! I wish I could have come to Nerdcon but time + money + etc. Thank you for a beautiful sunset.
I would welcome a 12+ hour video that shows from sunup to sundown. That would be the perfect thing to have running on one of my screens while I work.
In fact. I would volunteer to shoot it. Maybe I need to start a GoFundMe or something for that.
Is this Hank dipping his toe into the ASMR side of youtube?
Kikyo4815 exactly what i thought... LOL
I hope so.
Kikyo4815 no Hank doesn't do fads.
I think there was an ASMR perk as part of P4A this year.
Mark Nicholson Its been around for a couple of years now.
Thank you Hank, this is home for me, but I'm currently in Illinois for college. I was really sad I couldn't go home for nerdcon and feeling homesick in general. This was just what I needed to get me through until spring break

I needed this today, thanks Hank
Literally the perfect video right now. How did you know I needed this Hank?
Ooooh, ASMR! Time to close my eyes and relax. Thank you
Thank you, just the relaxing few moments I needed.
Bless you for this.
The very spot you filmed from I climbed all over as a child.
this is the kind of content I like to see 10/10
Ahhh I live so close to nubble!! I chill with some friends late at night after work there all the time, so relaxing💕💕💕 I love living in Maine
one of my favorite lighthouses! I spent a week at a rental house maybe 100 yards from this spot!
that is a very cute lighthouse
I put this on full screen and left click and turn on the loop function. It plays all day as my window on a wonderful sunset and the audio is really really soothing as background sounds.
This helped me forget for a moment I have a paper due in the morning. Thank you Hank. DFTBA
UA-cam should have more of this kind of thing, this video is great
this is just what I needed right now - thank you.
thank you. i needed this.
So relaxing! Thanks Hank :)
Best ocean sound video ever! :)
I want to wake up to this every day
This is nice background noise, and it's especially cool because the scene just gets prettier every time you click back.
Lovely! Thank you, Hank!
That awkward moment when you realize your desktop background is the same lighthouse........
I thought this place looked familiar...then realised it was my phone lockscreen!
Thank you! I really needed this right now!
So I have always thought time ought not to be killed, but sometimes I also think it wasn't meant to be spent. Sometimes, I spend my time trying to work hard enough to buy myself a future where I don't worry about the passing minutes as I try to finish my homework, a place where somehow the clocks don't try to measure me anymore.
But time is not money. Time is just the sunlight goldening and waves lapping over me. I think I need to let go. I need to just let it happen.
Thoughts?
Sarah Burgess I get anxiety over time passing. this way of thinking helps put it in a new light
+ You'd make a good writer.

I agree with you completely. Yes, we have years ahead of us. Yes, we should prepare for those coming years. But we should not spend /all/ of today preparing for tomorrow.
I love these comments. Thanks for understanding what I meant. :)
this is really so nice and relaxing, it made me realize how tense I am just as my natural state of being....
but also, this video didn't show up in my subscription feed - anyone else have this problem??
same! i've been checking my notifications for any videos i may have missed when i catch up on my feed but i so rarely find an instance where that's happened, but it happened with this one :/
This really helped me sleep last night! Thanks!
Oh man I wish I had seen you!! Yay Maine!!
I've got two midterms tomorrow. This is really nice.
thx for this awesomely ha bisky calming video i really loved this
I love my state so much.
I might use this during nights I have insomnia, thanks Hank!
My family vacations there every summer, supper awesome
So many thought provoking comments and I'm just like IVE BEEN TO THAT LIGHT HOUSE!!
John should watch this when he's having trouble meditating for 100 Days. It certainly helped me take a few good deep breaths. :)
thanks this was very thoughtful of you
This was so nice to have on in the background :)
This is so soothing ...
Thank you for this.
I could fall asleep right now. I am now too relaxed.
I love this
I need more videos like this.
Thank you, that was nice
Sunsets are so peaceful.
Really pretty, but I think I woulda liked it better if I was there. The sound of the waves is half of it, I want to smell the water, be close to it, it's such a wonderful feeling... Would make the beauty all the more engrossing.
finally, the content I've been asking for.
Hank why were you in Maine! I live in Maine and it seems like noone visits us, I would love to have you here and come see you sometime! Hope you enjoyed it here!

if only this was 8 hours long so I could sleep to it
I spent the entire video trying to figure out if the tide was coming in or going out. I finally decided on coming in. It was so calming to just focus on the waves though.
New favourite background video
thanks, i needed that.
This is art.
