So our good friends Dawn and Brad moved to Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada) a year ago and we decided it was high time we paid them a visit. They graciously housed us in their guest room for a few days in downtown Halifax, and we also spent a few days on the other side of Nova Scotia, exploring the Bay of Fundy (which has the highest tides in the world). We had a terrific time and caught a lot of great photos. Plus, the seafood wasn't bad either...Lisa just remarked to me, "I had lobster for breakfast this morning." This is not a common phrase in Colorado...

Is it just me, or does this snail look like it's wearing a hat?

Approaching the end of our hike at Cape Split Cape Split is a 9 mile (round trip) hike out to a small peninsula dividing the Bay of Fundy. At its end is 400 foot sheer cliffs.

The cliffs at Cape Split and the Bay of Fundy At low tide, all of these rocky points are connected by a rocky strip of land. The tide was going out when this picture was taken

Notice Lisa standing on the pier. The tide was still going out (low tide was in about 2 hours)

Fort Edwards and the Black River at high tide The river, at this time, was flowing up-stream
Fort Edwards and the Black River at medium tide The low point on this river would occur about 4 hours after this photo was taken. At low tide, this stream is just a trickle
