Sambro Island Lighthouse, Nova Scotia.
A visit to Sambro Island, Nova Scotia.
First outings with my Phantom 4
About -8ºC, flurries, and windy!
From Wikipedia...
The Sambro lighthouse was built during the Seven Years' War by the very first act passed by Nova Scotia's House of Assembly on October 2, 1758 which placed a tax on incoming vessels and alcohol imports to pay for the lighthouse.
The lighthouse is located at the summit of the half kilometre square Sambro Island. It is located on the western approaches to Halifax Harbour, about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southeast of Sambro Harbour. It is surrounded by a maze of dangerous shoals. The lighthouse and island are owned and maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard. In addition to the 18th century stone tower, the light station includes the endangered 19th century wooden building known as the Gas House as well as a fog horn shed which is in poor condition. Ruins on the island include the basement of one abandoned keeper's house, the burned out ruins of another and a partially dismantled keeper's dwelling, all from the 1960s. Several cannons used as fog signals can be found near the tower. A narrow sheltered cove runs into the centre of the island. The island is granite, covered by a thin layer of topsoil.

Fleming Park to Duncan's Cove PS
Dingle Tower
In 1908, Fleming donated the property to the citizens of Halifax for use as a park and proposed the construction of a tower within the Dingle to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of representative government in Nova Scotia; the province having been the first colony in the British Empire outside the United Kingdom to have such a form of government.

York Redoubt is a National Historic Site on a bluff overlooking the entrance to Halifax Harbour at Ferguson's Cove, Nova Scotia, built in 1793. It was a key element in the defence of Halifax Harbour in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was a nerve centre for harbour defences, including an anti-submarine net which stretched across the harbour's entrance from Fort McNab on McNabs Island. York Redoubt remained in military use until 1956, and was used in World War II as a command centre. The fort is considered to have the first radar station constructed in the world

Ketch Harbour time lapse
This was creating over the course of one summer day in Ketch Harbour. I took a single frame shot every few minutes from sunup to sundown. It depicts the summer life in the harbour as well as the tide cycle.
