This is the area that has the highest tides in the world. You have heard of the Bay of Funday perhaps? There are parts of the bay where the tides go up 13 metres between low and high tide. The Minas Basin is part of the narrow bay and here tides can go up to 15 or 16 metres! When the tide is out, you can feel you are walking on the ocean floor. Here, the red sandstone and clay cliffs have been eroded to form a seastack or flower pots, where trees continue to grow on the shrinking tower of rock. The Bay of Funday is between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, in Atlantic Canada.

Am planning a trip to N.S. to see this view. Awesome! This is as good as the Hopewell Rocks, surely!!!!Betty Schwartz 29 Oct 2005
Lisa is a bit confused about size here. So am I! It's hard to tell just how large that flower pot is! That's why, when I paint a landscape, I often put in a person or a bird to indicate the scale. There are many such formations here on the Pacific Coast of the U. S. Nice photo.Analua 29 Oct 2005
