  Roxanne- Good day my dear friend. The rock formations are indeed interesting and fasinating. Just love the look and shapes of them. They sure do give character to the beach. I see them people walking and enjoying all the beauty of the place. Excellent composition. Wonderful lighting and clarity. The effects give a painted look to the picutre. That blue sky in contrast to the earth tones is stunning.
Sensational work
Have a wonderful day, take care, enjoy it to the full

  The Bay of Fundy's Hopewell Rocks at Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick,also known as The Flowerpot Rocks, are the single most popular tourist attraction in Canada's Picture Province, New Brunswick, and the site of the higest tides in the world.

Twice each day the highest tides in the world — up to 46 feet — flood the beach, and twice each day you can explore the floor of the Bay of Fundy at low tide! Created over thousands of years by the Bay of Fundy's awesome tidal forces, these rock formations are a natural wonder not to be missed!

At the Hopewell Rocks, visitors will find uniquely shaped reddish cliffs of conglomerate interspersed with sandstone. This conglomerate was formed as rocks and pebbles, washed down from the Caledonia Mountain range (which is over 600 million years old) into the level ground of the valley, were compressed and cemented together over millions of years. During a period of tectonic activity, these layers of conglomerate, sandstone and shale were uplifted and tilted to a 30-45º angle. Vertical cracks or fissures divided the rock into large blocks.

With the retreat of the Ice Age, a mere 13,000 years ago, this valley (the Bay of Fundy) was filled with the glacial meltwater and the sea level rose. Tides became stronger and began to erode the soft sandstone along the shoreline. The surface water, filtering down through the vertical cracks in the cliffs, eroded from the top, gradually separating these large blocks of rock from the adjoining cliffs.

Meanwhile, the powerful tidal action, twice daily, began to carve away the bases, leading to the creation of numerous sea caves, and most noteworthy…the world famous Flowerpot Rocks.

  These boulders are really interesting and love the way you included some people to show some scale. The amazing blue sky complements the earth tones. Great shot Roxanne!
