Scenes from Cape Roseway

We went down to the lighthouse on Sunday. It was supposed to rain all afternoon but the day surprised us.

Cape Roseway reminds me of Peggy's Cove, with its dramatic jumbles of rock cliffs. The rocks look like they got tossed up into the air, to fall down in great heaps. It's a challenge to photograph them.

I saw the abandoned fog horn building in a new light.

Before I have only seen its deterioration, but now I began to see its structure, which is becoming exposed bit by bit. It reminds me of the phrase "the necessity for ruins." It looked noble, still standing there. Its original purpose was to house the fog horn that warned sailors of the rocks when a fog has covered the shore. I don't know what its purpose is now. Maybe just to remind us that there was an earlier time when life was different.
