The time difference for the tide between the two pictures was only 1 1/12 hours, the first picture was already several hours into the high tide from the low tide and the second picture was still not at high tide. Minas Basin which is part of the Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world. It takes just a little more than 6 hours to go from low tide to high tide. The volume of water moving in & out of the Bay is about 100 billion tonnes each tide cycle. The tide in the spring can go as high as 50 feet!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-29533945885062059282013-10-24T22:43:38.118-04:002013-10-24T22:43:38.118-04:00The more you play it the better your knowledge of ...The more you play it the better your knowledge of the world will be.

Those are great pics of the farmlands, almost like 'crop-circles'...
