Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality, which is famous for the Peggys Point Lighthouse (Wikipedia). The interesting looking huge boulders and rocks contribute to the main feature of the area. This was taken near the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. In late autumn afternoon, the wavy growth of sea weeds on/amongs the rocks somewhat resembles sea waves washing ashore.

This was observed at the car park outside of Delta Hotel, Fredericton, Canada. Two stars were visible in on the lower side as the moon was just about to move out of the eclipse. Only brightness and curves were adjusted : this was the original colour observed.

Peggys Point Lighthouse, also known as Peggys Cove Lighthouse, is an active lighthouse and an iconic Canadian image. Located within Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, it is one of the busiest tourist attractions in the province and is a prime attraction on the Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. Of the 164 strong lighthouses in Nova Scotia, this is one of the most photographed places in Canada. Established in 1868, it has a white octagonal reinforced-concrete tower with red aluminium octagonal lantern, fixed green light, and is 15.2 metres high. It has a range of 10 nautical miles (19km). The huge granite boulders under and around the lighthouse is a beautiful combination in the landscape.

This lighthouse overlooks the mouth of St. Margaret's Bay. Further beyond and below is Atlantic Ocean.

It took a great deal of waiting and patience to get this golden opportunity to take this shot when all the swarming tourists were out of sight.

This fierce looking figurehead is believed to be from the barque Saladin wrecked on the coast of Nova Scotia after she was taken over by pirates in a mutiny. The figurehead featured in the mutiny as the pirates attempted to alter it to conceal the identity of their captured vessel.

Captured this striking figure in 2015 while visiting the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Saladin set sail from Valparaiso - a seaport in Chile, on 8 February 1844, carrying a shipment of guano, 70 tons of copper, 13 bars of silver, and about $9000 of gold and silver coins. Saladin never made it to England, where its shipment was expected, instead it was found stranded on 21 May 1844 near Country Harbour, Nova Scotia on the shores of Harbour Island beside the village of Seal Harbour.

The Hopewell Rocks are located in New Brunswick, Canada, within one hour of the nearest airport in Moncton, N.B.

An UNESCO site, the Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpots Rocks or simply The Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion in The Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site in New Brunswick. Carved by melting glaciers, then sculpted by the world's highest and most artistic tides, these stacks stand 40–70 feet tall. They are located on the shores of the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape near Moncton.

Due to the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy, the base of the formations are covered in water twice a day. The formations consist of dark sedimentary conglomerate and sandstone rock. The large volume of water flowing in to and out of the Bay of Fundy modifies the landscape surrounding it. Each day 160 billion tonnes of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy during one tide cycle, more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers! After the retreat of the glaciers in the region following the last ice age, surface water filtering through cracks in the cliff has eroded and separated the formations from the rest of the cliff face. Meanwhile, advancing and retreating tides and the associated waves have eroded the base of the rocks at a faster rate than the tops, resulting in their unusual shapes.

Because the Fundy Bay is funnel-shaped - wide and deep at one end and shallow at the other, tides are pushed increasingly higher as they move up the Bay. By the time they reach "The Rocks" they are over four stories high! Although the tides vary from day to day, the high tide can be as high as 16 metres (52ft) and an average of 10.7 metres (35ft), giving the Hopewell Rocks one of the highest average tides in the world.

We only had barely over an hour's time there because the tide was coming in very fast. This was one of the last couple of shots taken before we were able to retreat to higher ground. Luckily the light was reasonably good.
