Pancake Rocks : Punakaiki
Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, between Westport and Greymouth. The community lies on the edge of the Paparoa National Park. The Pancake Rocks are a very popular tourist destination at Dolomite Point south of the main village. The Pancake Rocks are a heavily eroded limestone area where the sea bursts through several vertical blowholes during high tides. Together with the 'pancake'-layering of the limestone, these form the main attraction of the area.
The weather was bad in the afternoon. It was rainy and dark. Went back there in the evening : the clouds looked angry in the distance. Somehow, the sun peeped through dark clouds and sidelit the rocks for very brief moments.
