Cape Bear Lighthouse

The Cape Bear Lighthouse is a little on the worn side today but this plain unassuming lighthouse has seen a lot of action over the years also being a sister site to a Marconi radio station from 1902-22. Sometimes my shots of lighthouses are landscapes sometimes they are portraits each composition depending on what is on offer at the site we visit. This location was the first in Canada to receive a distress call from the Titanic the night of April 14th 1912 and the lighthouse did its duty during WWII as an adept spotter of U-boats that frequented the coastline giving it a pretty storied career.
