These are the Fuller Falls, located near St. Martins, N.B. on the Fundy Trail Parkway. The falls are at the bottom of a ravine, accessed via a cable ladder that leads you straight down the steep slope. It’s more like stairs with handrails, but it’s all made out of wire cable and slippery wood rungs. There is a handy observation deck at the bottom, complete with sturdy handrails that I used to rest the camera on for the slow exposure. Without the handrails, this photo would not have turned out.

The overcast skies and fog annoyed me at first, as I thought they would hinder any good landscape shots. But they actually helped out here as the reduced light allowed for longer exposures of the falls. This helps create a nice soft and smooth feel to the water. A circular polarizer was also used.

I took a drive out to St. Martin’s (New Brunswick, not the Carribean unfortunately) last weekend to try and see a little more maritime scenery than is available in Saint John. St. Martin is on the Bay of Fundy which is famous for having the highest tides in the world. I got there around low tide, and was amazed to see the boats were completely out of the water. At high tide they would be floating along side the docks. The Bay of Fundy apparently has areas with 50 foot tides. That is quite amazing.

The water shown in this image is actually a small river. I was standing on the bank of the river with the ocean about 100 meters behind me as I took the photo. If it were high tide, I’d have been in about 10 feet of water!

I took a walk around uptown Saint John New Brunswick today, as the sun peaked out of the clouds for a brief few moments.  I’ve been here for a couple of weeks on business, but this was the first time I’ve had a chance to take any photos of my surroundings.  I’m here for another 2-3 months, so there will be more to come.  I’m hoping to get out and see more of my home province and the Maritimes and the great scenery it has to offer.

I don’t do a lot of selective colouring, but I felt that this image needed some spice.  Let me know what you think.

P.S. That is a huge snow bank in front of the church.  This city has had a huge amount of snow this winter!
P.P.S. The title has been changed from “St Andrew & St David Church” to the proper name of “Trinity Anglican Church”
