Day 217 - A first glance at Grand Manan

Grand Manan is a large island in the Bay of Fundy, as close to Maine as to New Brunswick, of which it forms a part.

Sparsely populated, GM offers fabulous hiking opportunities and wonderful views. And the chance to see whales from the safety of the shore. We're here for a couple of days' holidays and enjoying it very much. But more on the island later.

This photo attempts to show some of the beautiful rock formations in their best light. With the sun out this afternoon, I had a fantastic opportunity to photograph the glistening blue water that surrounds this island and I really liked this formation of rocks near the shore. That's a herring trap in the distance, by the way.
