<div id="ygrps-yiv-780535496">the try pointer in the first attached pic faces northeast across green bay <br/>
of northumberland strait<br/>
toward confederation bridge & prince edward island some 25 km out of view<br/>
while standing in the mud at low tide on the left dimple of the mouth of the <br/>
tidnish river<br/>
where the canadian federal maritime territory meets the nbns interprovincial <br/>
boundary<br/>
at the canbnsn federal tripoint<br/>
& he expressly indicates with his outstretched left arm the left bank of the <br/>
river rather than the right<br/>
along which the border begins its southwestwardly transit across the isthmus <br/>
of chignecto<br/>
<br/>
after exiting from the right edge of the first pic<br/>
the border ascends the tidnish toward the ridge of the isthmus<br/>
from which it then descends the right bank of the missiguash river past a <br/>
point<br/>
just visible at the left edge of the second photo<br/>
where that river enters at high tide the long arm of the bay of fundy known <br/>
as cumberland bay<br/>
<br/>
but thanx to the enormous tidal differential in this area both vertically & <br/>
horizontally<br/>
the nbns border then continues fully halfway across this panoramic view<br/>
to the point where the river debouches into the bay at low tide<br/>
& upon which the photo is actually centered<br/>
canbnss<br/>
<br/>
there are a few monuments & straightaways along nbns but it is mostly <br/>
delineated by the rivers<br/>
& it is remarkable for cutting across the isthmus along nearly the shortest <br/>
possible route<br/>
