JULY 2009 – A tourist takes a photo of the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, Canada, during ebb tide. Photo © by Mark Zanzig/zanzig.com
The story behind the image
The maritime provinces at the Canadian east coast are probably among the most underrated regions of the country, at least for visitors from overseas. We were surprised to see many different places and landscapes on our road trip from Halifax to Montreal.
We had visited the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park in the late afternoon on the day before – but the stunning rock formations were almost completely in the shadows. We had anticipated this, but – truth to be told – we were still a bit disappointed.
However, our accommodation was pretty close to the park, and so we headed towards the park again the next morning, and – wow! What an impressive sight!
The morning sunlight was dipping the rocks into nice, warm light, casting long shadows (and this time into the right direction!)
In this photo I especially like the single tourist who (like us) was taking photos. His presence visualizes the enormous height of the rocks. Awesome.
