New London Range Rear Lighthouse
This compact wooden lighthouse carries real literary history, having inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery, and its classic red-and-white design makes it a satisfying subject against the open PEI sky. You can frame it from the dead-end road with a standard or short telephoto lens, keeping tidy compositions that emphasize its clean lines and surrounding greenery. The beach side offers a lower angle with foreground interest, especially if you work in some texture from the sand or vegetation. Soft overcast light flatters the red and white paintwork by reducing harsh shadows, while golden hour adds warmth without blowing out the bright trim. Because the lighthouse sits on private property in a quiet residential area, park carefully and keep your distance; a 70-200mm lens lets you compose well without needing to get close. Be respectful of residents and leave no trace. (Yankee Hill, Prince Edward Island, Canada)
