Sunset at the Maritimes

I captured this sunset several years ago while visiting Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. The building captured on the photo is the historic lighthouse in Annapolis Royal. It was built in 1889 on the site of the old Government House (the residence of the garrison engineer) which burned in 1833. It remains a functioning lighthouse, with a heat-sensor light that comes on at night and goes off during the day. It shines brightly only about 90 miles away from the half-way mark between the equator and the North Pole.
