We walked around the Market Square and the dock. Some great wooden art by the late John Hooper , an English born Canadian artist.
Called "The Bus Stop"
Also got to see the famous Reversing Falls- a phenomenon created by the extremely high tides (the highest in the world) of Fundy Bay meeting the Saint John River. The water is so powerful it backs the river up and forms much turbulence.
Very Cool! We never got there would have loved to, but seeing it through your eyes is fun!
ReplyDeleteWe were blessed with a beautiful clear day to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteSaint John looks like a pretty city. Funny how the architecture in the Maritime provinces seems to use more wood than central Canada when really they have similar temperatures.... That Reversing Falls phenomenon must have been amazing to see!
ReplyDeleteI love the wooden buildings- so much character! We saw the contrast between low and high tide today- a lot of water in this Bay of Fundy!
ReplyDeleteA really pretty area which I always thought it would be ;) and I just Love the falls/reversing force created by the high tidal waters of bay of Fundy and the st. John river meeting... the power and turbulence has got to be phenomenal!! would love to see and hear that chaos!! :D Awesome! :) ... would be amazing fishing I'd have to think ?! thanks again Lou! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI think there were a lot of fish- tons of birds
