NS-4922 - Cape George Lighthouse (Bras d'Or Lakes)

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.

 

Finally I reached the lighthouse and just sat for a while enjoying the view. As you can see there were no birds in the area at all, probably because there were no houses or fishing villages near. Took a few shots and started the walk back to the car, had to get to the next lighthouse, lol

 

The first lighthouse was established here in 1875 but is no longer standing. This tower was built in 1950 to replace the first light.
