Ice cakes in the harbour
You know it's finally winter here in Parrsboro when ice cakes start to form in our tidal harbour. At high tide they float and bump gently against each other; at low tide they crunch and layer on the mud. Here's a photo I took at the Whitehall bridge, just at the end of Main Street on the inner harbour.
wonderful photo! Its not often we get to the Parsboro shore in the winter time, so havent seen the ice cakes...I bet they are wonderful to see. My husband's family is from Spencer's Island so I know the area well. I look forward to visiting your blog often. take care!
Whether you're a current Parrsborian (yes, that's what we call ourselves), a live-away with Parrsboro roots, a summer resident or a first time visitor...welcome! I hope this blog will help you discover this great little coastal town on the Bay of Fundy on the eastern edge of Canada.
Got a question about Parrsboro? Got a photo you'd like to share? Interested in doing a 'guest post'? email me at bayoffundy@gmail.com - I'd love to hear from you!
So here I was on the Bay of Fundy, minding my own business, when I realized that normal people don't get to see 100 billion tonnes of seawater flowing back and forth in front of their kitchen windows every day. As someone who has grown up living and working here, I've taken it upon myself to blog my experiences with the highest tides on the planet.
