We've had some horrific winds for the last few weeks and they certainly have affected the water in the Tasman Sea.
The first two photos were taken from the lookout at the Patea River while black sand pelted Hubby and me. The wind blew the camera so much I had to straighten almost all the photos but the view was still incredible.
When we went down to the coastline, the sand was blowing everywhere.
The remains of a pier seemed to be in another world with low tide.
Looks like a very strong wind creating large waves. Glad I'm not out in a sailboat in that sea. Careful you don't get the lens of your camera sand blasted.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeletegreat to see such a wild sea, Nature pur ... The black sand was determined not so nice .. :-)
greetings Frank
Wow, you really are having some big winds on your side of the country. Not quick so bad here.
ReplyDeleteI like that last photo of the stranded piers.
ReplyDeleteThe winds appear to be ferocious!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Betty, but wow! Be careful out there.
ReplyDeleteA truly stunning images, which is transmitted to the wind force. The waves are huge, I love them. This would be nice to experience once, but quite dangerous it can be. Good that the camera stayed in your hands.
ReplyDeleteFantastic scenes capturing the atmosphere beautifully. I have so many special memories of my trip to New Zealand.

ReplyDeleteWow. Those seas do look disgruntled. I know the feeling of battling sea winds and trying to take a sharp photo. Quite a challenge of strength and patience.
