"Where did the water go?"

9/6/2019

After leaving Fortress Louisbourg, we wanted to visit Peggy's Cove again, but got side-tracked to Burntcoat Head, on the Bay of Fundy.

There's a lovely little lighthouse, with a small park, and a trail down to the water.

The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, averaging a change of 13 meters (43 feet) four times per day.  When we arrived the island just offshore was still surrounded by water....
Picture
Se we went back to the RV, and the kids got their boating gear ready. But by the time we came back, all the water was gone. 
Picture
 "Where did all the water go??"
Picture
Picture
"We took too long....."
Picture
"....and now the tide is out..."
Picture
I took a photo anyways.   "Everyone smile for the camera!"
Picture
"Well, let's go explore some, and I'll take photos....."
Picture
"...of the people walking on the ocean floor...."
Picture
"Look! We can walk around the island now!"
Picture
...and Jan went off to do just that....

The forces of nature are incredible. We humans might think we are the "kings" of the earth but that is far from true.

I love the lesson that the children learned about the tide going out. My favorite photo is the one of them waving.

The tides in the Bay of Fundy are incredible. We really like this spot along the Bay, since it's a free park and there's hardly ever any crowds. Not like on the other side in New Brunswick. They have actually cut steps into the rock so people can get right down on the ocean floor at low tide.

That 'waving' photo was Jan's idea.

The Bay of Fundy must be an awesome sight! Your photos of the setting are beautiful. All the ones with the kids were a delight. They really made me smile. Like Dorothy, my favourite is the one where they are all waving to you :o) I bet even Ringo managed a little smile, although he was probably worrying the water might come back back too fast!
