New Brunswick - Bay of Fundy

Because it was the end of the tourist season in Canada there were very few people on the beach. It was a bit intimidating being among these towering formations. I felt a bit anxious as I irrationally imagined that the ocean would come rolling in on us at any moment.

This is low tide at the Bay of Fundy and these are called the Hopewell Rocks. The tides rise sixty feet in this area and they undercut the landmasses leaving flowerpot formations. You can walk on the beach for about five hours at low tide. Apparently people occasionally get trapped out in the water and are cut off from the shore and have to swim when they realize what has happened.
