Sculpted by High Tides

Known as the Flower Pot Rocks or Hopewell Rocks at Cape Hopewell in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. A shot I took from above as the high tide was starting to come in.
The base of the formations are covered in water twice a day. High tide can be as high as 16 metres (52 ft) giving The Hopewell Rocks one of the highest average tides in the world.

During low tide we walked along the ocean floor, I've posted some if you'd like to view them, click next. It was a rare and magical experience.
