Quoddy Head Lighthouse or Head Harbour Lighthouse.

 

Towering majestically on the eastern tip of Campobello Island stands the "East Quoddy Lighthouse", also more familiar to everyone as the "Head Harbour Lighthouse". Proudly looking out over the Bay of Fundy, this lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouse in the world. An isolated home in years past, to the many lightkeepers and their families, it stands now unmanned. A victim of technology hovering on the brink of a fate that has befallen other monuments of it's own kind. What will be its fate?
