If any of you have not had the opportunity to go to the Bay of Fundy, you must! It has some of the greatest fluctuations of high to low tides in the world. I was told that in 6 hours, it will rise/fall 15 meters. It seems difficult to put that perception into a picture in your head, but I was able to see if for myself and was blown away by the craziness (for lack of a better word) of it. We saw the "craziness" from Hopewell Rocks, NB which has those highly famous flower-pot rocks (where the tides have eroded the base of the rocks away over the course of the years).
Yes, I took these pictures (below) and they are actually the two same locations documented at both low tide and high tide. The park wasn't even open when we arrived at 9am and we hung around until about 3pm to see the final stages of the shift.
Also, to blow your mind a little, I will include for you a real time video I took of how fast the water is actually rising. It'll make you careful of how long you linger in one area for too long...
