Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick, Canada

This was the first time I trekked down to the rocks.  You can see the water lapping

onto the muddy shoreline.  The tide was on its way out and the fog was hovering

all across the Bay of Fundy.

This was the second time I made the trek about an hour later than the picture above.

The tide had moved out further.

Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick

On the path way to find Hopewell Rocks at The Bay of Funday,

you pass through Fern Gully!

Before you get to all the rocks you get a sneak peek.

We were arriving when the tide was on its way out, but you can see the marks

on the rocks where the tide was!

The Bay of Funday's claim to fame?

The highest tides in the world!

Just following the path to Hopewell Rocks, is an adventure

in itself!

I loved the way this picture was a little out of focus in the 

tree tops.  It gave you a sense of a fairytale.

Halifax, Nova Scotia ~ Curious sights

The afternoon we were allotted to spend in Halifax was rainy and drizzly and bluh 

as far as the weather was concerned.  

But....

The next morning as we were heading out of town just after breakfast the clouds were

breaking up and the sun was on its way out to shine.

I got the opportunity to snap this surreal shot displaying Halifax 

with its terrific mixture of great old buildings and state of the art new buildings.

The Halifax wave also doubled as an umbrealla.

He landed in Halifax in 1520.

Halifax, Nova Scotia Old and New along the waterfront

Walking along this street you were taken back in time.....

The old and new were combined to make some fine shopping areas.

A great place for a stroll.

Halifax Waterfront, Nova Scotia

Theodore Too!

Our allotted time for Halifax was rainy and dreary but we did get a quick glimpse

of the waterfront and all it has to offer.  

Hopefully we'll return to enjoy it all on a sunny day!

Theodore Too cannot be missed along side the dock or out in the middle of the harbor

of Halifax.

Along the Halifax Waterfront you can find all the usual tourist foods

along with many opportunities to get out on the water.

St. Paul's Anglican Church, Halifax, Nova Scotia - Beauty

I had the Church to myself.

I'm sure somebody was hidden somewhere in a back room, but I was grateful

to look around at the many details without feeling hurried.

Jesus - Fishing for men

Artwork today is dim to the artwork in many old Churches.

I believe there's many who can produce great art, but 

the small issue of funding to pay for it is another subject.

The colors are so vibrant!

The longer you stare at this the more details you discover.

No night stands so to make the most of space you have overhead night stands.....

Who doesn't love a little porch sitting on a nice quite evening

while listening to some tunes.
