super moon

This scene caught my eye as I passed the window and, of course, I couldn't pass up a photo op of the super moon.

Napier area

I could watch and listen to the ocean roar for hours. It's so soothing and a bit mesmerizing. The beaches at Napier have very steep drop offs, so the water churns into monstrous waves which are great for surfing, I hear. I just enjoy the foamy crests and the wind-blown mists.




These shots are at Waimarama, a little settlement at the end of a winding road.

Bare Island (Motuokura in Maori) got its name from the view from the shore. In reality, there was a fishing settlement on the outer side in 1769, as noted by Captain Cook. Today, after eradicating the rat population in 1990, it is home to blue penguins and other birds.

Before I could zoom out on them, they had flown to the nearest tree.
