The Original Cape Spear Lighthouse built in 1836 is the most easterly point on the continent of North America, this is where the sunrise is first visible each morning before anywhere else in America or Canada. This lighthouse has been replaced by a traditional shaped structure in 1955 close by. Cape Spear is a Canadian National Historic Park and a must see if you are ever in St John's Newfoundland, it's a short drive to Cape Spear and the beautiful rugged coastline.
I took this photograph after driving before dawn darkness and patiently waited for the first rays of sunshine to rise above the Atlantic Ocean and was rewarded by a spectacular early morning scene where I had the whole coastline and park to myself.
