What you don't see are the black flies. :)

This is a beautiful place to be.

Looking through two massive rocks in the foreground, black in silhouette, to see a small island sitting on the horizon, silhouetted itself by the last of a magnificent sunset. The sun is setting to the right and the clouds are a glorious pink and gold, reflecting onto the fairly still water. The sky is blue.

Ha! Same area, wider view, lower tide. Wind has changed direction. :)

Oceanscape. In the foreground is green, marshy grass, with a pole with 4 flags, one atop the other, flying mostly straight out, towards the right. Beyond is an expanse of red sand beach, still wet from an out-going tide. In the distance we can see water and shoreline.

I took this in Avonport a few years ago. The flags shows recognition of the Mi'kmaq, whose history goes back much further than that of the Europeans. From top to bottom: Canada, Acadia, Nova Scotia, Mi'kmaq nation. I guess in order, it's newest down. :)

This is high tide. At low tide, this is a mud flat, popular among shorebirds, especially those fattening up for the long trip to South America from their summer nesting sites.

A pole with 4 flags, one atop the other, is planted in a field of marsh grass. Where there isn't marsh, there is open water. The grass is green, the water is grey, reflecting the grey sky that is making the lighting very diffuse.

Fog along the coast muffles all sound, makes it seem like walking in a dream.

A very foggy ocean scene that mutes all the colours. We see rocks, covered in seaweed that looks like long hair, emerging from water, with seaweed streaming over the top of the water. The golden hue of the seaweed is barely seen through the soft white of the fog. On top of the biggest rock in the foreground and to the right side of the scene sits a female eider duck, facing right. The water is calm and soft grey in this lighting.

Here's another view. The dark water mark on the manmade harbour wall shows the high tide mark. The fishing both just idled back and forth until the water was high enough.

A wide angle shot of a rocky beach, with water to the left and a rock wall with a metal scaffolding light ahead. A blue fishing boat can be seen waiting offshore, facing us. The rocks close to the beach are full of seaweed. The rock wall, marking the harbour entrance, has a clear demarkation of dark seaweed where the high tide rises. The boat doesn't have to wait until high tide, just high enough, but it's clear from the scale of the boat and the high tide mark that the tides here are dramatic.

They've collected traps, end of season, and they've arrived back at port before the tide was high enough to get into the raised harbour. It was about 30 minutes before they could get in and begin the removal of the traps from the boat.

A lobster fishing boat, full of stacked yellow lobster traps, is idling offshore. Several crew are sitting along the rail, enjoying the summer day while they wait. In the distance, we can see a far shore. It's a hazy day, some clouds, the water is fairly calm.

Silence

#EllieKPosts #sunset #landscapePhotography #BayOfFundy #IleHaut #NovaScotia

A red setting sun reflecting in the slightly rippled waters of the bay. There is a very low island visible on the horizon, named Ile Haut, which is strange as it is so low. There are dark trees on left and right of the frame with some of the dark shore visible in the foreground.

Horton Landing, Nova Scotia

Have a lovely, calm, Monday, (if possible) friends.

#StevenKPosts #LandscapePhotography #Landscape #NovaScotia #shoreline #BayOfFundy #MinasBasin

A flat, peaceful looking coastline, with striations of clouds in the sky above. There are brown low spits of land jutting into the water, the distant ones with evergreen trees that look small in the distance. There is either a darker cloud on the horizon or a distant shoreline, it's not possible to tell which.

Fog Clinging to Blomidon Viewed From Medford cliffs
It's an extraordinary effect that fog pouring over the edge of the cliff into the water.
Happy Wednesday, friends
#StevenKPosts #Blomidon #Fog #tide #NovaScotia #LowTide #BayOfFundy #MinasBasin #HighestTides

The bottom half of the frame has a predominately reddish tone with sand and pools of water from a receding tide. This is low tide in the place of the highest tides in the world, so this is actually the bay floor. At bottom left quarter is a single person, so far away it's very tiny, possibly digging for lugworms or some other fishing bait. There is a rock formation in the bottom right quarter, which would be mostly underwater at high tide. The upper part of the picture has a raised land mass on the left side, with a thick layer of fog that appears to be pouring over its edge into the water we see in the distance. Beyond that water is a low shoreline. The sky is very heavy with dark grey and blueish clouds broken with a pale sky near the horizon.

Sunset Over the Dykes with Grasses

Midwinter sunsets over the dykes are very beautiful with that light. It's usually extremely cold and challenging to make a photograph.

#NovaScotia #StevenKPosts #AnnapolisValley #Dykelands #landscape #LandscapePhotography #Sunset #SunsetLight #MinasBasin #BayOfFundy

A winter scene of sunset light. The foreground is fringed with grasses that are illuminated by the last of the day's golden rays, striped by a shadow in a line through them all. The snowy field behind them is in shadow also, with a slightly curved bank that divides the frame. Behind is water or ice lit by that same golden light, and broken by some other brown banks that intersect the waterways. In the distance are some trees and the sky is heavy to the right as it reaches the horizon.

Blue Hour
Baxter's Harbour on the Bay of Fundy.

For #SilentSunday #EllieKPosts #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #NovaScotia #BayOfFundy #Sunset #BlueHour

A very dark shore, small stones, curves from the bottom as it meets the calm water. The tide is out and there is a small rock island with a single small group of evergreens on the right side. There are other rock formations out into the water from a dark shore with trees at the top of the low cliff. The sunset is a muted pink and darker blue in a very blue sky and in the distance across the bay, it's either misty or low hills, which is hard to make out.

Sunset, Kingsport Beach, Nova Scotia

For #SilentSunday
#StevenKPosts #sunset #MinasBasin #BayOfFundy #landscape #LandscapePhotography

A sunset scene looking from the water's edge up an expanse of dark red undulating sand with ripples and rivulets coming down from the shore. The sunset is reflected in the surface water and almost mirrors the sky. The dark skyline is low cliffs with trees at the top. The sky, between the wisps of cloud is blue.

Looking across a bay at sunset, with dark water in the foreground and an orange and gold sunset with dark wispy clouds above and a few dark streaks of clouds on the horizon. There are low hills on the far shore of the bay. A lone fishing boat with a light is just about in the centre of the image, where the water meets the opposite shore.

Sunset February 2012 - Kingsport, Nova Scotia
The tides and cold make such interesting ice formations on the flats at Kingsport, Nova Scotia. It looks like it would be pieces of water icing lying broken on the surface.
The other day this landscape looked just like this.
Happy Throwback Thursday.
#ThrowbackThursday #LandscapePhotography #NovaScotia #tidal #elliekposts #Landscape #BayOfFundy

A low undulating landscape of tidal flats in winter, with flat pieces of broken ice scattered on the surface on top of reddish brown earth. It is almost sunset and there is a warm glow on the scene. A small rivulet goes out from the right foreground and winds its way towards the bay we can just make out in the distance. There are low hills across the bay. The sky is clear and blue.

I was telling an interview subject about the tides in the Bay of Fundy, about which I have vivid memories. I remember sitting on a pebbly beach with my father, watching the waves come in, each one further along, until they were nearly lapping at my knockoff Keds. It was a good memory in so many ways, but there was a mournful quality. I hope that's retrospective from knowing it would be among the last good memories I had with him (he's still alive, just a fuckup). If it's not, I suspect I heard this great recording of a great song in the car before we got to the beach. Man, Gordon Lightfoot could really sell a downer. #BayOfFundy #GordonLightfoot https://youtu.be/vaE9vlrhX-k

A long stretch of beach is before us at sunset, with golden foam on top of very low waves that are making their way to the shore as the tide comes in. There are low hills in the distance beyond what looks like a silver thread of water at the end of the beach.

A beach scene with a sunset sky facing East, with pink tinged clouds in a blue sky fading to a grey bank of clouds on the horizon. The scene is a flat shore with calm water and a distant bank of trees on the left. There are tall sticks leading into the water.

Annapolis Valley and Harvest Moon Trail bike ride.

This was (probably) our last long trip (of the year) as the weather will be turning cold soon. (Why do I think that makes me sound like I think I'm a rock star?)
It was absolutely gorgeous with the unseasonal warmth and fall colours. It was my longest so far, at 56km, or 35 miles. We had a delicious plant based lunch in Wolfville, sitting on the patio outside the restaurant. A bit windy, but it wasn't cold.
After that we made our way down the Harvest Moon Trail to Grand Pré and Evangeline Beach where we sat and admired the Bay. On the road we were almost dive bombed by lots of screeching bald eagles. (They should have much louder cries for their size, I think.)

The ride was often into that headwind, but sometimes behind us, which was nice!

The video was taken in Lower Canard overlooking the Habitant River and the Minas Basin, part of the Bay of Fundy. We were not far from home. Photos of the map and part of the trail are in the first comment.
