This area is covered in limestone rocks, situated in South Canterbury, New Zealand.
A fellow photographer and I were treated to a really nice sunset.
Picturesque Kaikoura is a town on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand, 180 km north of Christchurch. The town has a beautiful setting, as the Seaward Kaikoura mountains, a branch of the Southern Alps, come nearly to the sea at this point on the coast. There are many walking tracks up and through the mountains.
Kaikoura is a popular tourist destination, mainly for whale watching and swimming with or near dolphins. There is also a large colony of southern fur seals at the eastern edge of the town.
A photo my eldest son took with his phone over the rolling countryside of Ruakaka, Northland, New Zealand. I decided to take his photo and put it on flickr just to see what others think of it
From Wellington I took the Interisland Ferry to Picton on the South Island. This shot taken inside the ferry to give an idea of the accommodation. The ferry was very comfortable and the crossing smooth, although I'm told it can at times be rough. I've done it twice and it was very smooth both times.
In this area many moons ago, the Moa roamed freely. A flightless native bird of New Zealand now extinct, standing over 3 metres tall. The Moa were a great food source for the indigenous Maori and Moriori people of New Zealand and their bones were used for tools.
