Juxtaposed photographs, another approach to visualization of high and low tides.

An alternative approach to visualization of tides has been provided by Ron Hipschman, of San Francisco's Exploratorium.  A friend had asked, wasn't there a more direct way to portray the high and low tides, than a graph, or just numbers?  

These two panoramas were compiled from series of photographstaken at high and low tide.  The subject is Pier 15 (site of the Exploratorium), on the left, and Pier 17 on the right, at San Francisco.   I don't know the dates and times.  These were obviously taken from out in the Bay, probably from a boat.  How else?
