Magnetic Hill Wharf Village, Moncton, NB, Canada

The most famous gravity hill in Canada is the Magnetic Hill of Moncton, New Brunswick.

 

In reality, the magnetic hill phenomenon is an optical illusion. Despite all appearances to the contrary, roads on which the ‘uphill’ rollings take place are actually sloped downhill.

 

It is a small recreation of an Atlantic Canadian fishing village. This shot across the Wharf pond was taken on an overcast autumnal afternoon, in a light drizzle, after experiencing the optical illusion of our coach rolling "uphill" when put in neutral gear.
