This morning was free of any sound except the soft drip of water droplets on the cliff behind me. An incredibly peaceful moment. (1 hour before sunrise)

“Gimmelwald (Pano)”
Description:
Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park lies along the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, where the bay’s long, narrowing funnel shape amplifies the tides. Exceeding 45 feet, this region experiences the largest tidal range on Earth. At low tide, the ocean retreats to reveal expansive muddy tidal flats and sea stacks formed from layered sandstone and gravel-rich sedimentary rock.
Story:
This was an incredible morning! I have never been somewhere so quiet despite being next to a large body of water. The deafness I heard was something I’d only experience in a desert. Here, in the Bay of Fundy were the tides due to the new moon from the April 8th total solar eclipse were 46 feet was at low tide. The “ocean” was a placid river. No wind, no waves, no sound.
I’ve included a video to share with you just how quiet this morning was where I was standing at the Bay of Fundy. Literally, where I’m standing would completely cover me with water at high tide. The cliffs behind me were slowly dripping with water droplets from where the tide once was. In the video you can hear the water droplets but the volume has to be turned up high.
Walking around here wasn't easy. Lots of mud! The suction cupping sound of my boots against the mud as a walked was loud in the stillness. The legs of my tripod sunk in the mud. I was alone and at peace. Light was building to the east and in this moment I felt nothing but bliss.
