photoblog image Cape Bear Lighthouse

Cape Bear Lighthouse

The first Canadian land station to hear the SOS of the Titanic as she sank in 1912 was the Marconi station at Cape Bear.

It's nice when we see the light on An Island Walk.

What a beautiful picture, an invitation to sit down and be overwhelmed by the view....
a light breeze through the hair and the sun in the face...
Have a great day, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: There are picnic tables here and families come to do just what you suggest. It's in the middle of nowhere and lovely! A wish for a wonderful day for you too.
Me gustan los tonos que has conseguido son suaves y coloridos al mismo tiempo, una captura genial.

Saludos
Mary MacADNski: Gracias mucho. Un día asoleado hace las maravillas a una fotografía.
A sombre thought, Mary but a fine view. Our local council is selling off a lot of its artwork (paid for by me and other local tax payers) to fund a "interactive" Titantic museum. We are wondering why as the ship only sailed from here once!
Mary MacADNski: Ha, You're funny. I would say this will be moved in a few years as it is getting close to the edge. Another lighthouse was moved for that reason this year. I showed a photo a couple of weeks ago of a house very close to the edge. This is just to the left on this photo.

Halifax, Nova Scotia has a Titanic museum I believe.

So there are/were a lot of bears around? They bear witness to the unsinkable sinking. Nice shot, it looks like a nice place to hang out.
Mary MacADNski: There are no bears on the Island. I don't know why the name.
The fence makes the picture. Good shot Mary
Mary MacADNski: I have a thing for fences and often find they make the shot. Thanks, Albert.
This looks like a beautiful spot Mary, love the old style fence in the foreground,
Regards Jim
Mary MacADNski: It's a very pretty spot and has picnic tables too. Thanks, jim
I can imagine this being a popular place to go and visit on a nice day.
Mary MacADNski: There were a few people around when I was ther. It is a pretty spot.
