Vernacular Building on the Bay of Fundy


The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia is the site of the world's highest tides.  Twice a day the tide rises and falls as much as 50 feet, the equivalent of a five story building.  Buildings along the many rivers in the area experience drastic tides on a daily basis, but they're built to withstand the flood. The value of not resisting or ignoring nature.
