The white tower and red lantern of Peggy's Cove lighthouse rise from a sweep of smooth granite boulders, the Atlantic stretching out to a clear horizon behind it. Warm light rakes across the stone, revealing every curve and fissure carved by ice and sea.
Set against a soft blue sky scattered with clouds, the lighthouse stands simple and resolute on its weathered rock. The image captures the enduring spirit of the North Atlantic coast, a place shaped by wind and water, where a single beacon has long kept watch over the sea.
