Sky Watch Over the Tantramar
In this region, once called Beaubassin, the Acadians settlers built dikes in the early 1700's along these salt water marshes. Today this area is called the Tantramar Marshes. The name Tantramar was derived from the Acadian French word 'tintamarre' meaning 'din or racket', in reference to the noise made by the many birds that feed there. (source Wikipedia) The Tantramar Marshes are located near Sackville, NB.

Let me tell you that your top photo is excellent and would work in dozens of places. I really like it. You got it all -- from perspective to contrast, and color harmony.
wow idyllic!!! the yellow is sooo sweet and great contrast w/ the vibrant colors the set up is so picture perfect definitely frame worthy
The clouds seem to be moving in that second photo. They pull me right in!
I really like the capture with the fence line. Great SWF.
Thank you for joining in with Sky Watch this week and helping to make it special.
Tom :O)
Looks like a beautiful area. I like the composition of your pics, especially the first one
I love all those little yellow flowers in the top photo... pretty.
The clouds look dark and moody in that second and looks very good despite being a 35mm print.. very nice!

I love these photos. The first shot is absolutely perfect, beautifully composed. That second shot is amazing, and I think it's my favorite. The sky is so heavy and ominous in that one -- it's gorgeous and dramatic. Great shots!
New Brunswick is a gorgeous province!

Love your first photo in particular! The fence adds so much to this image. Well done!
Oh my, what a spectacular photo, the top one. I would like to have a painting of that in my home ! Very nice post.

I absolutely love the first photo. Picnic anyone?
Both are gorgeous pictures! I love the blue sky, fence post, yellow flowers, but the drama in the second sky is neat, too! Interesting about what the name means and it sound like a great name to say.
Beautiful photography. Great post.

This is totally, totally awesome! There is such a power and majesty in those skies.
Very nice contrasts. Beautiful skies!

Do the birds still raise a racket? Are there enough still there? I love the photo and would love to see this place! Beautiful!
I like the fields...seems like you could wander forever through them.

I love your top image. There's a lot that's right about it: color, contrast, composition, perspective, harmony...very nice!
Very beautiful and dramatic shots.
