Sentinels In The Stream: Lighthouses Of The St. Lawrence River Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The latest book in our lighthouses series features 48 exceptional lights of the St. Lawrence River, from the charming Thousand Islands to the breathtaking Gulf of St. Lawrence. In Sentinels in the Stream, two of North America's top landscape photographers join forces to capture the rugged beauty of the river and its lighthouses, on the shores, shoals and islands of upstate New York and Ontario and Quebec . Each lighthouse is profiled with its unique history and architectural highlights. Ex-lightkeeper Ted Cater -- now the supervisor for many of the lighthouses under the care of the Canadian Coast Guard -- provides a insider's view of St. Lawrence lightkeeping.

First of all, I love the format of thisbook - each of the 43 lighthouses has afull-page color photo, facing the text,which is mostly quite informative. Alsothe smaller size of the book makes it verysuitable as a gift to any lighthouseaficionado. Anybody interested in theearly history of Canada would enjoygetting/reading this as much as I have.While I'd like to give it 5 stars, Ifound in some cases the photos wereoverly artistic or at least, not trulya detailed portrait of what I wanted to see.One such example is the lighthouse atBassin from 1871, described as "most beautiful"and "unusual" in the text. The very colorfulphoto is mostly of the cliff, with a boat inthe foreground, and the very distant lighthousein the diagonal opposite corner. Composition-wise, it's no doubt a postcard-worthy image ...
Great book
Would have liked more updated pix.
