Bay of Fundy Tide time-lapse, Cape Enrage, Barn Marsh Beach,

Has Brian lost his mind? Too much time watching the giant tides of Fundy? It's true that trying to fully comprehend the incredible magnitude of the Bay of Fundy tide is enough to make anyone feel rather small and insignificant, or at least, awe stricken. Or is he just having fun?

September 18th, 2011 was an extraordinary day at Cape Enrage, New Brunswick. Imagine a day without enough wind to keep a kite up. And whoever heard of it being warm at Cape Enrage? Warm and no wind? Are you sure we're talking about Cape Enrage? It's no wonder Brian was acting a bit playful.

Four time-lapse cameras were used in the making of this video, along with a regular video camera to add some details.

Barn Marsh Beach is the rocky beach just before the last uphill section of the road to the Cape Enrage lighthouse. Off route 915 in Albert County, southern New Brunswick, on the Bay of Fundy. The rocky headland in the background is called Inner Head. Barn Marsh Beach is well known for the rounded flat rocks that make up the beach. However, at low tide a surprise is revealed. A beautiful expanse of flat smooth sand starts abruptly at the bottom of the rocky slope. The transition is dramatic. The flat sandy part is quickly covered by the rising tide and most of the 6 hours of the rising tide is spend gradually engulfing the sloped rocky section.
