One would be truly blessed on days like this to live so close to the ocean, with Peggy’s Cove just a short drive from their home. Today, one would be lucky enough to capture some of the most iconic Nova Scotia moments: the Bluenose sailing past Peggy’s Cove. It would see like two of the province’s most beloved landmarks came together in one perfect scene. I might just have to print one of these—curious which one speaks to you most!

With the red and white 'candy cane stripe', color pattern it is the only 'barber pole' lighthouse in the United States. It was automated in 1976.
The lighthouse on Tearaght island, Ireland. The lighthouse is only 17 meters high. But it doesn't have to be higher, the lantern is still 84 meters above sea level. The lighthouse was lit for the first time in 1870. It was manned until 1988, when it was automated.
Tearaght island is the westernmost point of Ireland and Europe, apart from a few small cliffs a little further away to the southwest and apart from Iceland and the Azores.
