The Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpots Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion. The tides vary from day to day, but the difference between low and high tide can be as much as 16 meters (52 ft) giving the Hopewell Rocks one of the highest average tides in the world. Kathleen made a nice day trip out of it. With a stop in Shediac and an introduction to Tim Hortons. Great – every day something new :-)
Quick Stop in Shediac

Hopewell Rocks Formation at low Tide
The official website of Hopewell Rock Park. It is a bit of a mess, but you will find the tide timetable there. We were a bit unlucky since the tide came in quite late and it got dark.
Algae along the coast – you know how this smells :-)Red coast on the other side tooHad to fix the landscape a bitSelfie TimeA few hours later the rock will be under the waterHappy KathleenView from another part of the parkThe salt water is slowly coming inThe water has a very high concentration of suspended red silt and clay. You see this on many beaches in New BrunswickView from the Observation DeckWe had a long drive home, so this was the last picture I took this day. But the water will come up a few meters more.
My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you! Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.
