Reversing Falls

There’s a phenomenon in Saint John, New Brunswick called Reversing Falls, where the incoming tide of the Bay of Fundy reverses the waters of the St. John River. It changes from a modest set of falls going out towards sea at low tide to rapids heading inward at high tide. I visited the area three times today to see the differences.
