Lighthouses of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island

I took this photo of one of the lighthouses in Halifax Harbour at dusk as the cruise ship was leaving the harbour. The lighthouse is on McNab's island.

This photo was taken of a lighthouse near Baddeck on Kidston Island. Baddeck is the county seat and is a popular tourist destination because of the museum of Alexander Graham Bell. Alexander Graham Bell traveled to the area in 1885 and fell in love with it. He and his wife built two homes on their estate near Baddeck. Alexander Graham Bell spent the last 30 years of his life at the estate and died their in 1922.

I had read a lot about Peggy's cove and I was really excited to be able to photograph the lighthouse. I was hoping for good weather and I was not disappointed. The bright blue sky with white fluffy clouds made a beautiful backdrop for my photographs of the lighthouse. It was a very windy day and even the rough look to the sea added to the photos.

Prince Edward Island is famous for it's red dirt roads and for the book Anne of Green Gables, so I was excited when I found out it would be a stop on our cruise. I was really excited when I found out that there are more than 50 lighthouses on the island.

This photo was taken as the cruise ship was entering the harbor for Charlottetown in Prince Edward Island

Once the cruise ship was docked I was able to photograph this small lighthouse in the harbor in Charlottetown.

This lighthouse was a stop on our tour of Prince Edward Island. I was able to get out and climb to the top of this rather small lighthouse. It is located in Victoria harbour. Very interesting!

This photo was taken on another stop on our tour of Prince Edward Island. I didn't get the name of this lighthouse but it was right next to a very large bridge. We were able to walk around the lighthouse but it was not open to go inside.

This photograph was taken in the early evening as the cruise ship was leaving Prince Edward Island. I was able to capture the beautiful colors in the sky and you will note the lighthouse with it's light beaming on the shore.
