Peggy's Point Lighthouse and hazy blue sky . . .
Peggy's Point Lighthouse, also known as Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, is an active lighthouse and an iconic Canadian image. Located within Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, it is one of the busiest tourist attractions in the province and is a prime attraction on the Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. Of the 164 strong lighthouses in Nova Scotia, this is one of the most photographed places in Canada. Established in 1868, it has a white octagonal reinforced-concrete tower with red aluminium octagonal lantern, fixed green light, and is 15.2 metres high. It has a range of 10 nautical miles (19km). The huge granite boulders under and around the lighthouse is a beautiful combination in the landscape.
This was taken from a side-backlit position. The haze makes it warmer in colour. This lighthouse overlooks the mouth of St. Margaret's Bay. Further beyond and below is Atlantic Ocean. Here the signalling light just appears red.
