Lighthouse Gears (click to enlarge)

Here is part of the gearing mechanism that spins the light in the St. Paul Island South Point Lighthouse located in Dingwall, Nova Scotia.  I think this is the first time in all of the lighthouses we have visited that we actually saw the gearing.  The gears are in plain sight as you climb the short staircase to the top.

Of course, the lighthouse is no longer on St. Paul Island.  It was moved some years back to Dingwall.  When you drive up to the lighthouse, it appears to be in someones font yard.  The house is actually a small, well kept and informative museum.
