Lighthouse at Peggy's Cove
Based ona photograph by Canadian photographer Dale Wilson, the reverse offersa sea - level view of the rocky shoreline at Peggy’s Cove, NovaScotia. The sun’s first rays appear in the horizon to the east,over the calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean; while i ts return adds a warming glow to the winter sky, the faint daylight illuminates the wave - battered rocks that line this inlet. The iconic Peggy’s CoveLighthouse is seen rising up toward the sky — a familiar landmark since its construction in 1915 (on the site of the previous 1868 light), and arguably is one of the world’s most photographed lighthouses.
