I went out early to Peggy’s Cove to catch sunrise, heading down the rocks to the left of the lighthouse to scout for compositions. After a little exploring, I began walking back along the path when this view stopped me in my tracks. Framed by tall grass and wildflowers, the lighthouse stood against a soft pink and purple sky. I quickly lifted my camera and snapped the shot.

Sometimes the best images aren’t the ones you plan for—they’re the ones that catch you by surprise as you look back over your shoulder. This was one of those unexpected gifts, a quiet perspective that felt uniquely my own.
