A view of the Punakaiki coast in New Zealand reveals a section of its distinctive rock formations. (Postcard series)
I wished I had photographed at this location when I was in the Badlands 3 years before, but it had rained and the ground was downright slippery. So, three years later, I went right to it. One prob though when I was scouting in daylight - I didn't have my compass. I'm worthless without my compass. So, when I returned after dark, I immediately could see I was way off the mark in terms of the direction of the Milky Way. Consequently I had to bumble around in the dark looking for compositions. Bumbling around amongst hoodoos and pinnacles is, for me, disorienting, and dropping breadcrumbs isn't gonna help me find my car when I'm finished. This wasn't my favorite composition in terms of my lighting - hard to get definition and texture in that uneven rock without causing unwanted black holes. BUT, this frame does have a swell meteor flashing through it. Maybe give it a click to view larger as the rock texture does show up a bit. I think I see my car out there in the low right corner too. 😉
After a long summer the swells start to pick up out in the southern ocean and when they hit landfall it can get spectacular ,you just gotta be there.
This was a smaller swell, though I liked the symmetry and well defined smaller sprays as it hit the pier.

Waves breaking near shore in evening. This was after a storm when were still getting good sized swells and was almost completly dark. Altered from color version.
Out with the Focus crew down to Little Austi (just north of Austinmer) on a rock shelf called Brickyard Point. The headland in the background is Bells Point. A rising tide and a 1.5m swell gave these consistent waterfalls into the channel. Lots of time to work on different comps which is unusual.

The good news, my MRi shows no shoulder impingement, bad news, got a considerable tear in my Rotator Cuff that needs fixing, conservative treatment not going to cut the mustard in this case! All my bloods and ob's are good so in on Monday for initially, endoscopic repair of a torn rotator cuff and then a few weeks of physio before I can consider cycling and basketball again........and now a little interlude, an Atlantic swell, Coverack, Cornwall

Unfathomable. The abyssal zone is an area of the ocean with depths between 4,000 and 6,000 metres. At such great depths, plants cannot grow due to the lack of sunlight and consequently no photosynthesis, leaving these areas sparse and in constant darkness.
