One of the most interesting sights I have ever seen are rock formations in New Brunswick, Canada called the Hopewell Rocks. These 40 to 50 foot high pillars or as the locals call them “Flower Pots” are caused by many, many years of tidal erosion. Located on the Bay of Fundy these rocks are witness twice a day to the highest average tides in the world.
Looking down at the rocks from a safe vantage point the visitor can not get the feel of actually how big they are. Below is one of the first pictures I took as the tide goes out at about one inch per minute.
How do you get down to the seafloor which is quickly getting exposed? You climb down these 100 stairs situated between two sets of rocks.
Finally we get to see what we came for. Nature is just unbelieveable!
These are just some of the formations that you can explore for several hours around the area before the water starts coming back in. Just in case you are to sidetracked taking pictures and looking at the rocks, there are Hopewell Rock Rangers who constantly sweep the area, answer any questions you might have, and be sure you are safely off the sea floor before the water comes in.
