Peggys Point Lighthouse, Nova Scotia, from the south.

Peggys Point Lighthouse, Nova Scotia, from the south.
A pleasing quick shot with my phone to send to friends and relations still in England. This is quite different from my other photo of the same lighthouse and demonstrates the power of sunlight on the foreground and subject. The rocks too are different here having a sandstone appearance and looking like Thor has taken his hammer to it all. Is one better than the other? It is in eye-of-the beholder I guess. See next photo for real comparison.

While no doubt the most well-known lighthouse in Canada and one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world, the history of the light at Peggy's Cove is little known. It was built and lit in 1868 and stands at 26ft high. It is 65ft above the water level.

Best full screen. Enjoy the day.

A beautifully composed shot Herb...............and you're right about the power of sunlight on those amazing looking rocks. The lighthouse really stands out too and the people standing in front of it give us a good sense of scale.

The sky is particularly beautiful. Very nicely captured sir!

Thanks a lot Keith. If this was just a tad sharper it really would vie with the DSLR. That being said the light on here is pretty nice as you acknowledge. Glad you liked the sky here too.

Best Wishes. Herb

How nice. Sometimes I would like to live at the sea and not in the middle of the mountains.

Good to see you again. ~ I think that at times too Daniela, although our mountains are far less imposing than yours. Glad you liked this one.

Happy 2024 to you and your family. Herbert
