Taken on recent OBX trip. H.C.Bonner Bridge at Oregon Inlet - tidal bugs. #15540
Thanx zxgirl for the 'rock slater' identification. Starting with that i was also able to find them called "sea slaters" & "bilge bugs". There were large numbers of them scurrying around, mostly just ahead of my ability to focus on them. They were between low tide & high tide levels.
The Bay of Fundy tidal height is internationally famous, and with it comes with a regular Tidal Bore, where water from the ocean pushes rivers and back up the river system. It is considered a wonder of the world, but god help you if you want to find out where to see it.
This is the best example of Nova Scotia's tourism fail. While the ads all talk about this force of nature, no where does it tell you where to look. All the links for for organized tours with boat companies. It took a lot of research and a lot of driving around for me to finally find this place to look at the Tidal Bore.
So the place to go (and I been to all of the places websites lists, some of it is in parking lots of smelting factories, others on farms, or parking lots of abandoned hotels or just off the side of the road, which isn't really safe) is at the Fundy Tidal Interpertive Centre at 9865 Hwy 236 in South Maitland, NS (www.FundyTidalInperpretiveCentre.ca) It's just a place off the high way with gravel parking lot, but at the end of the trail you can sit and watch the tidal bore come in.
The day I went wasn't the best, and super windy (as can be heard on the video) but it was something to see all of this volume of water coming in. The best viewing is after a rain storm on a super moon when the tide is the highest and there's large volume of water in the river to be pushed back.
You can of course go and get a boat ride too if you want.

Tidal Reflections // Washington, DC
I was lucky enough to capture the sunset on a cool, still evening down by the Tidal Basin at the National Mall in DC. The Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial begin to glow as the evening commuter traffic fills the city.
