Georges Island Lighthouse : Autumn afternoon . . .

This image is included in a gallery "I love lighthouse! Here are some of my favorites...in and outside of Second Life!" curated by Lanay Resident.

 

Established in 1876, Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Georges Island Lighthouse is a 15.8 metres tall, white octagonal reinforced-concrete tower , with a fluorescent red vertical to seaward. The light is fixed white.

 

This was taken on board Murphy's Ferry Cruise while sightseeing in the very busy Halifax seaways. The 3 red-white chimneys in the background are gateways to demonstrate acrobatic skills of pilots in the Nova Scotia Air Show (NSIASA). NSIASA is formed as a Nova Scotian not-for-profit society in 1996 to promote aviation and aerospace awareness.
