Hopewell Rocks and Fundy National Park

I still have some catching up to do on posting my New Brunswick trip... so here's some photos from my day at Hopewell Rocks and Fundy National Park. I rented a car and made the trip with a friend from the department.

On the drive out, we stopped to view (and drive over, of course) a covered bridge:

There was a fellow who had just caught a whitefish:

(He was kind of hesitant to talk to me at first, but warmed up after discovering I was a tourist, not a fisheries officer.) I had never realized that "whitefish" was actually a specific kind of fish, and not just a generic name for fish with white flesh.

On the way to check out a second covered bridge (which we never found), we discovered a (not-so-) scenic clearcut:

One of the local industries in New Brunswick is logging.

Mmmmm! Tasty ice cream recommended by another friend:

I had chocolate (if I haven't had ice cream in a while, I don't feel like I've had ice cream unless I have chocolate), and my friend had maple.

Odd... not your usual trash-sorting choices:


Beautiful:

One tree was just full of these beautiful birds:


We had lunch before going on to the Rocks. I had lobster, which wasn't all that good:

Perhaps I would have had better luck at the lobster shack next door, but my friend didn't want lobster. Her scallops were to *die* for, though:


Due to lighting conditions and the capabilities of my camera, most of the photos I took at Hopewell Rocks didn't turn out very well. (Well, perhaps my skill was somewhat to blame too...) Here's some of the better shots:















There was a foot brush to clean off the mud at the top of the stairs:

And here's a bit of info about the flowerpots (Hopewell Rocks):


Cute church:


It was getting rather late by the time we left the flowerpots, but we had time to see one waterfall in Funday National Park:



It was pretty! Someone had tossed roses in the pool, though, for some reason.

You don't want to mess with moose!


Hill ahead!


We don't know what this field was:

It looked like some sort of cultivation had taken place, but neither of us could tell what it was. There were several fields that looked like this.

Look... another McCabes!

This time I had raspberry. (I tried a sample of the maple, but it was too strong for me.) For some reason, I can't remember what my friend had the second time.

This is the *biggest* culvert I've ever seen... a *road* went through it!
