Flowerpot Rocks

Low Tide, Flowerpot Rocks, New Brunswick, Canada

In the Bay of Fundy, one of Canada’s Seven Natural Wonders, a billion tons of water that ebb and flow with the tides have sculpted red standstone.

Here, at Hopewell Rocks at low tide, rock sculpted into “flowerpots” upon which pine grows emerge from the sea floor.
