You can view the photos at www.jeffborisen.smugmug.com under the Fine Art Gallery. Thanks!

In surrounding towns, they seem to be more popular than wishing wells (though these are also quite common) and statues of little boys fishing. Nobody has pink flamingos anymore unless it's someone's birthday. Yes, they are cute pepsoid and certainly not limited to the Cow Bay area.

Refurbishing them into bed & breakfasts would be an excellent solution. People do love to visit them. Our most famous one in the province is at Peggy's Cove and it attracts an incredible number of tourists every year. Staying in one for the night would be quite cozy.

These are gorgeous! They have this aura about them, of a long-ago era when the world was still wild and untamed, and lighthouses were beacons leading ships from the perilous open oceans into the safety of the harbours. They make me think of pirates and hidden treasures and swashbuckling adventures! I read somewhere that there are lighthouses in Ireland that have been refurbished inside and that you can rent to stay in for a short visit! Can you imagine anything more EXCITING??? I wonder whether there's any in our country... I'd better do some research! I *love* lighthouses. These are gorgeous!

I wonder whether there’s any in our country… I’d better do some research!

One of them looks like it has holes drilled into it for birds to nest in. The lighthouse that's nearest to here is the one on Devil's Island near Eastern Passage. Will try to get a photo taken this summer. Yes, now that you mention it, they do look like miniature wedding cakes Gerry :) Kathy, I should have said ‘roosting place’ instead of ‘resting place.’ One of them looks like it has holes drilled into it for birds to nest in.

For a second I thought you meant that people bury birds beneath these garden lighthouses. Oh, duh, I am thinking too much of cemeteries these days! And Ben Franklin thought they were more helpful than churches? Smiling...I'm surprised he wasn't lynched for such a comment. Would love to see some of your lighthouses out there in Nova Scotia.
