After Prince Edward Island, we headed down to Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick to re-visit another of our favorite places, Hopewell Rocks. This is a wonderful location to really appreciate the tides of the Bay of Fundy.
The afternoon we arrived was the day of the solar eclipse. While we didn't really expect to see anything, I did find that from our location the sun would be about 40% covered. So I quickly assembled some very hi-tech gear to make my observations. This involved a paper plate, a collapsible colander and my iPhone.
Later that afternoon we drove to nearby Hopewell Rocks at low tide, and then again the following morning at high tide.

It was easy to see where the average high tides were in the erosion of this rock.
