Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

I am finished posting all I had left in my archives and will be doing some work around home before I go away. I also need a rest, thanks for viewing my pictures.

I left the lighthouse a little disappointed, but as I was leaving I went in a different direction than normal and managed to get this shot which I liked.

The first lighthouse was an octagonal wood tower built in 1832, 21 meters (69ft) high. It had a round iron lantern and a 3rd order double bullseye lens manufactured in France. This lighthouse was replaced in 1936 by the current concrete tower, but the original lantern and lens were retained. It has the only remaining circular lantern in Nova Scotia.
