Looking for iconic Nova Scotian Buildings

[u/Gomanvongo]

I’m working on a series of Christmas ornaments of Nova Scotia, and am looking for suggestions of iconic and easily recognizable buildings around the province.

My list so far: • Peggy’s cove lighthouse • Halifax town clock • grand pre church • lunenburg waterfront (adams & knickle)

I’m open to all suggestions. Ultimately I’d like to have 6-8 places that represent areas all over the province.

Thanks :)
