Peggy's Cove Lighthouse

Uploaded: April 13, 2007

Description

Taken in Halifax - Nova Scotia this past weekend. Peggy's Cove is known as the idyllic fishing village, it is one of most popular stops in Atlantic Canada. Set on rocky shores, the lighthouse and village at Peggy's Cove are a photographer's paradise. Despite its popularity this tiny fishing village has been able to keep the same relaxed atmosphere that has made it famous. f/16,1/160,iso 100.

Wonderful capture of a very intriguing area, Karim!

I visited the Cove some years ago while on a cruise up the Atlantic coast.

The cove got its name from a little girl who was the only survivor of a ship wreck and the place had a haunting sense of beauty about it, but I wouldnt want to live there! (smile)
