Living, as we do, very close to the Bay of Fundy which boasts the highest (and the lowest) tides in the world, twice a day we are able to walk far out along the bottom of the sea bed to the edge of the receding water. It is a strange feeling, knowing that within a few short hours the water will be many feet, even meters above our heads as we walk out on the hard sea bottom. It is a constantly shifting underwater landscape, with the perpetual motion of the waves sculpting the sand and rocks into new formations twice a day, every day. The movement of the water doesn’t allow for anything but buried sea creatures and crabs to remain for long. It gives a clean sweep, every 12.5 hours. Here it looks as if the sand has taken the form of the receding waves themselves. This is Kingsport Beach, about 10 minutes from where we live.

+Diana Brown it is and
peopletourists ride it in zodiacs for fun!+Ellie Kennard that's very interesting Ellie – what an amazing place. The bore must be quite something to watch!
+Shelly Gunderson thank you so much. It was unusual even for here.
+Diana Brown thanks Diana. Our tides can be as high as 56 feet , as high as 5 storey building. http://bayoffundytourism.com
It can get pretty muddy at times though.
That's very cool! I have only ever witnessed a tide in Cape Cod Maine as a kid. Don't remember it being so textured or layered. Beautiful!
+SHOGO YOSHIDA thank you!
Great!
That's a great shot and your description is so interesting Ellie. How wonderful to be able to walk out at low tide. We live near Morecambe Bay, with has very high and low tides, but quick sands make it too dangerous to walk out. We enjoy the stunning sunsets instead.
Very interesting the data it provides. Great photo friend.
+Bev Potter you had a lovely day for it if it was the same as here! Next time maybe you can make it to the bay.
+Ellie Kennard we were at Parlee Beach yesterday with my son, daughter in law and 5 grandkids. We were going to go to the Bay of Fundy to see the low and high tides but ran out of time.
+Kitten KaboodleInc thanks so much!
+Ellie Kennard beautiful tones and scene Ellie!

Wow! That's fascinating!
+Ellie Kennard You're most welcome, Ellie! I'm wishing you happy weekend, my friend!
+Dorota Dylka thanks very much! Lots of space indeed as the movement of the water doesn't allow for anything to remain for long! A clean sweep, twice a day, every day.
lots of space… lovely subtle colours… nice!
+Ellie Kennard You are most welcome, our pleasure!
+patrick tracey thank you!
Thanks a lot +Sumit Sen
Yes , strange, isn't it. +Lynn David Newton? It's stony or rocky in places and very muddy in others. This section is just heard sand worth occasional sink holes. Not too cold water, though, as by the time it had come all the way back in across that hot sand it gets pretty warm.
Thank you. +Chandler L. Walker and. +Landscape Photography for the comment and the reshare. It's much appreciated.
Thanks Linda. We did have a great walk and will have more, I'm sure. +Linda Jess
Thank you. +Cynthia Carden Gibson

Beautiful image, +Ellie Kennard!!
Great shot Ellie you really captured how it looked. Was glad to have been there to share it with you. Will do it again soon
Such stark contrast of the earth to the blue sky. It is amazing to think waters will cover this area soon. +Ellie Kennard, it is my pleasure to share this beautiful photo with the +Landscape Photography page. Thank you for sharing with the #LandscapePhotography theme!
Extraordinary. I would have expected it to be much more rocky. Instead, it appears to be sandy. When I lived in Maine, I lived a couple hundred yards from the ocean coast and walked down to look almost every day. It was very rocky. In the time I lived there I was once able to get out in that water and swim in it for a few minutes. It never got warm. And my feet stood on rocks. (I'm a good swimmer, but didn't go out above my head.)
What a beautiful image, Ellie!! Thank you for sharing your world!
Cynthiaxx
Thanks very much Cynthia! We walked there together when you were visiting, in, I think horribly cold and windy weather. Wasn’t it raining a bit? Anyway, it’s refreshing to walk there now.
Lovely capture!
Beautiful and nice i like it lovely

Beautiful photo!
What a wonderful photo!!
Amazing !!
awesome, I didn't know that you live in this region, I remember I was somewhere at the Bay of Fundy when I visited Canada many years ago, I guess it was at a tourist spot, many people walked around, but it was very interesting to watch the boats moving with the tide!
Wow!
Beautiful ♡
+Shawn Reynard – I am a little awed each time, to be honest. It is a strange feeling.
It is indeed, +Robert Britton
It is nice to take full advantage of your environment
Wow.. Amazing to see such a sight +Ellie Kennard
