Tidal Installation, Bay of Fundy, St Martins, New Brunswick

July 2009

 

The Bay of Fundy has the highest—and lowest—tides in the world. The differential means that seaweed, mud, bubbles and even minnows race up and down inlets in the fast-flowing current.

 

I shot these photos in the small fishing village of St Martins, New Brunswick. They capture debris rushing over Marguerite’s image on an outgoing tide, including mud loosened by my having dropped the petrograph (at first by accident; subsequently on purpose).  The water speed and relatively low depth made for a wealth of pattern in the currents, which caught late afternoon sun.
