Painting with Light!

Day 10
The new effects on the Lake of the opening of the Dam. It's been open now for a few weeks and there are obviously some good and bad about this. The lake is no longer the beautiful and esthetically as it used to be, but now they are finding creatures, fish and such. This image is a reflection of Riverview and all it's lights on the mud that has now gathered on the lake side. These bright colors almost look like a painting. Sometimes photographs can be abstract. This is for sure a representation of that.

What’s a bore?

It’s a wave, actually, the result of the record high tides of the Bay of Fundy that cause the water in Moncton’s Petitcodiac River to reverse direction and to raise with just one wave coming in from the bay.

In little more than an hour the river can go from a muddy river bottom at low tide to being filled to its banks at some 7.5 metres, or about 25 feet, in depth.

The Tidal Bore can be seen from many points in Metro Moncton, starting from various spots along the Dieppe riverside trail system to the south side of Champlain Street, near Hall’s Creek in Dieppe; in Moncton along the waterfront boardwalk or from Bore Park; or from Riverview’s riverside trail system.

The Gunningsville Bridge between downtown Moncton and Riverview offers excellent vantage points for pedestrians.
