redleaf101 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I do mean it when I say 'Funday'.. 'cause its always fun to adventure in this area. Here's an attempt to visit fossil localities during the Winter months. Taken from my blog post http://redleafz.blogspot.ca/2014/01/bay-of-fundy-in-january.html Bay of Fundy in January In the Maritimes its a slow time of year when you hit the Winter months. With Winter, comes the inevitable Winter blue and it sucks. This Winter started pretty nasty around the Holidays with several snow storms blanketing the area. Coming into January 2014, we got a few days of reprieve with above normal temperatures. I decided to hit the road to try to snap myself out of this Winter torpor. Here's a few photos: Joggins, Nova Scotia From Hardscrabble road heading South. You can see the Joggins Fossil Center on the left. The force of the bay is so great that it just piles ice and creates this awesome scenery. Fossil cliffs at Joggins down Lower Cove. Not easily accessible in Winter and very dangerous. View from the bridge down Shulie road, overlooking the old road structures. Chunks of ice covery most of the beach. Hard to walk and tricky to step on. Glad to see a few patches of rocky ground to step on. Alma, New Brunswick Coming down from Fundy Park we noticed this rainbow. It was about 6 degrees Celcius and there were some scattered showers that didn't last very long. A few drizzles really. Alma wharf. My buddy Phil enjoying a little stroll. My older brother Don trying to have a photo showdown. I get easily distracted. Nice view of the beach from the road. Here in Alma the beach is mostly cleared of ice. Carboniferous bearing cliffs seen here in the background. Edited January 22, 2014 by redleaf101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triops808 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi redleaf101, I loved your photos! I felt like I was along for the ride, watching the scenery drift by. I love pictures of fossils, but it's even more fun when you can see the whole adventure of finding them:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
