Seaweed, turquoise water, abstraction . . .
Captured this image at Waiwhakahehe Lookout prior to visiting the Royal Albatross Centre in Dunedin, New Zealand. These long strands of seaweek swayed rhythmically to the gentle onshore waves amidst turquoise water, as if sea fairies were rinsing their long locks of auburn hair. A seal or two would come and frolic among them every now and then. Morning light was soft, sea breeze was gentle: the scene was serene and sublime.
Dunedin is situated at the head of Otago Harbour, a narrow inlet extending south-westward for some 15 miles. The harbour is a recent creation formed by the flooding of two river valleys. From the time of its foundation in 1848, the city has spread slowly over the low-lying flats and nearby hills and across the isthmus to the slopes of the Otago Peninsula.
