New Plymouth beach

This was a community swimming pool before the new pool was built. 







This little oil well behind the trees along Ngamutu Beach pumps a few hours a day and fills the tank in the background (toward the left). It pumps to ensure that oil doesn't get into the water table.

These are lovely ocean shots. Yes, it does entice me to want to make the 24-hour flight!
