These shots were taken 5 minutes apart (11:43am - 11:48am)
As some people know, the tides are influenced by the moon's gravitational pull on the earth. In some places and at some times, these tides are larger than elsewhere. Due to it's location and geographic peculiarities, the Bay of Fundy, on the southern shores of New Brunswick in Canada, has one of the largest tides in the world.
We visited a day or two ago, and it was quite spectacular. Have a look at these comparison photos to see the difference between high and low tide and note: we were there between 1-2 hours before the extremes of these tides (i.e. low tide was 8:40am, we were there at 10am).
These shots show the same view just 3 hours apart. The shots on the left show low tide, and on the right just one hour shy of high tide.
