DUNCAN'S COVE LIGHTHOUSE


From the shore looking up towards the Duncan's Cove lighthouse (Chebucto Head), one realizes again the enormity of the task set before such a building. This is the harshest possible land into which any ship could come into contact. If the way was not lit decades or even centuries ago, huge numbers of lives would be lost. In this picture, the lighthouse looks to be miles away but is actually just a short walk up the slippery cliffs. After traversing one of the worst roads in HRM, the drive downtown is about 25 minutes.
