Pictures from Ian and Kat's Digital Camera: Hopewell Rocks
[Up to New Brunswick: 30 Aug - 8 Sep, 2004 ]

Here are pictures from various trips I have taken to faraway (and not-so-faraway) places.

For Kat's birthday this year, we took a road trip to New Brunswick. We came in through Quebec, travelled the north, east, and south coasts of New Brunswick, and then returned home via Maine.

One of the big highlights of the trip was the visit to Hopewell Rocks, a provincial park with some of the highest tides in the world. We went twice, once at low tide, and once at high tide.

A movie of the waves coming in as the tide rises.
