We arrived in fog and saw it the next morning. You can see the tide a ways out.
Believe it or not, we had a lot of company here. Tourists would jump out of the cars, snap a photo of the water, and leave shortly.
Braving the wind. Here you see the tide in.
This aerial photo shows the Hopewell Rocks location, a few miles north of Cape Enrage. You can also see the Bay of Fundy which has the highest tides in the world (accounting for the reverse waterfall effect). Also you can spot Prince Edward Island where we are going next. There is an eleven kilometer bridge between New Brunswick and PEI.
Ripley called these land formations "flowerpots" in 1936.
We arrived at the Park before 8:30 am and there were so many people there! I didn't know it was one of the most popular tourist destinations in Canada.
We had a terrific Provincial Ranger, Sharon, take us up the beach for an hour showing the land formations. On her iPad she had one of them crumbling, a video taken by a Texas tourist. Also she showed us time lapse of tide in and tide out.
I wanted to ride around in a kayak but it was sort of cold, and the price was high for the service.
Apple on the beach! Don't let it tip over.
Canadian $20 with new polymer strip; turn it and image appears of Queen Elizabeth and Canadian Parliament tower. It doesn't work in the change machine at the the laundromat.
I see some good watercolor subject potential!
ReplyDeleteThat second photo of the vehicles on the rocky beach is my fave! It seems so very mysterious there. And it is just not that often that one can camp like that right on the edge of the water. It looks like your friends are so nice. :)
ReplyDeleteMom, it's nice to see photos of your friends! Tell them I say hello. I enjoyed seeing the photo of the photos of the high tide and low tide--what a beautiful place. I would like to go there someday.
