Hopewell Rocks

Scenes below are from New Brunswick, Canada's, Bay of Fundy, Hopewell Rocks area. These particular formations are called: "Flower Pot Rocks".

A little preface: The Bay of Fundy is famous for it's high tides. The tide can come in 60 feet high and it goes out equally far. We have other pictures I will show you of this. When the tide goes out it reveals it's very famous mud all along the bay shore. Stories tell of those who got stuck in the mud and could not get out when the tide returned.

What you are looking at here is actually the ocean floor when the tide is out. It is a very special place. These formations go up and down the shore about 3 km. or so I guessed from what I could see. We only walked south from the stairway in the center with these amazing scenes repeating around every corner.

We had to be out of there and back up on the bluffs above the cliffs by 7:15 p.m. as that is when the tide would return, and without being up the staircase, you would not survive this place. The trees shown at the top of the cliffs are "sea level" or the waterline when the tide is in. On to the photos - part 1 of 2 of this place...Enjoy!
