Power of nature, 鬼斧神工

The Hopewell Rocks - Time Lapse video (YouTube)


During our recent travel to New Brunswick, Canada, one of the trip’s
highlights was a stop at the Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy. We
witnessed the work done by the power and creative hand of nature , or
鬼斧神工.

This unique water system located between New Brunswick on the west
and Nova Scotia on the east is like no other place on Earth. Every day,
twice a day 110 billion tons of seawater rush into the Bay creating
phenomena that can only be experienced to be appreciated.

The gravitational forces of the sun and moon combine to create a
continuum of tidal action. The Bay of Fundy tides can reach up to 50 ft.,
the height of a four-story building, twice every day.

            

The reddish cliffs at the Hopewell Rocks were said to be first formed
millions of years ago as a massive mountain range, older than the
Appalachians and larger than the Canadian Rockies, began to erode.
