Port Williams is a small village in Kings County, Nova Scotia. Rural areas are sparsely settled places away from the influence of large cities and towns. Such areas are distinct from more intensively settled urban and suburban areas, and also from unsettled lands such as outback or wilderness. Sunrises can be more spectacular in rural areas than large cities and towns. Sunrise is the time at which the first part of the Sun appears above the horizon in the east. Because the bending of sunlight causes the sun to be seen while it is still below the horizon.
