Lighthouses

Prompt: Lighthouses and faraway. Use these words anyway you want.
===================================================

If you can guess you can see far far away from a lighthouse, you must remember that the eye can only see as far as the earth’s curvature permits.

One such lighthouse with the best-unbroken view of the ocean is the quaint Peggy’s Cove lighthouse in Nova Scotia, Canada, built on a site of about a million shipwrecks. I consider it to be one of the most truly picturesque lighthouses, usually located at the end of fishing villages.

This is one place where a person would love to spend a whole day watching (exploring!) the rocks and the surging sea. The fishing village itself has houses perched along an inlet with large boulders facing the Atlantic Ocean.

We went there a long time ago in a bus tour, which we took from Halifax. It is somewhat a tourist friendly place although that area is designed as a preserve.

I always thought lighthouses to be romantic and we have visited a good number of them in our life. This is only one of them. Maybe at another time, I'll talk of some other lighthouse in this blog.
