Rising above the granite headlands of Nova Scotia’s Peggy’s Cove, this iconic lighthouse stands resolute as waves explode against the rocks below. The churning Atlantic surges under a brooding sky, while the brilliant red lantern contrasts against the muted storm tones. Golden grasses frame the scene, offering a quiet counterpoint to the sea’s fury. This work captures both the enduring beauty and raw power of one of Canada’s most photographed maritime landmarks — a steadfast guardian in an untamed seascape.
