High Tide and Low Tide
A simple occurrence everywhere in the world, right? 3-6’ between low and high, maybe a little more?
Well, at Parrsboro, NS, in the Bay of Fundy, they have the highest tides in the world. How high is that you say? Well today, on a mild summer day at the weakest point of the monthly moon cycle, it was over 40 feet (FORTY)! Different time of the year and cycle, it can approach 60 (SIXTY) feet! All in a cycle of slightly over 6 hours! Below, I attempted to capture this phenomena. It sort of leaves one speechless. One of the real oddities of the world.
Here are some other shots from this area. Really remote, beautiful part of Nova Scotia.
Wow, talk about a place where you’d better not go beach walking without your tide table! That morning shot is indeed quite something, Dan. But I like the one of the marsh in the previous post even better.
Thank you. I did like that one as well. It was so rainy that day creating a special feeling to the marshes.
