Yesterday we drove about 35 miles south to Hopewell Cape where the flower pot rocks are located. This is on the Bay of Fundy between New Brunswick & Nova Scotia. The tide in this area rises 40 feet in 6 hrs. from low tide to high tide. The picture shows some of the flower pot rocks at low tide, notice the people walking around. We went down 95 steps to get down there. The park was closed by high tide so we can only imagine what it would look like with the water 35 ft. higher near the base of the trees.
We then drove another 30 miles along the coast of the bay passing through small coastal towns and by small hilly meadows with views of the bay at low tide. We stopped at the small fishing village of Alma, NB ate lunch and browsed the few shops. The picture is of fishing boats in the harbor at low tide. At high tide there is water at least 1/2 way up the shore walls in the marina and these boats are floating.
