Hello Tony,

This is a fine composition showing a lovely view of the residence of the birds!
We have similar colonies for different birds along the Norwegian coastline too, where they for some reason seem to prefer a place to another...
a good point of view here, rich colours and fine details!

Greetings,

Hi Tony,

The summer month of December there looks a lot nice than the summer month of June here. Statistically it is our hottest month and we have been in triple digits for weeks. This picture cools me off! The water is so beautiful and inviting. Excellent details of the Gannet Colony and the cliff. Your compositions are always superb. This must be wonderful to see.

December under the sun with the gannet's sounds as a Christmas melody ;-)) beautifrul picture, Tony, the colours are simply amazing and beautiful. I like that we see the whole scene with where the birds live. I like the waves in the ocean and the flight of some of these birds. The mossy rock at the foreground and the beautiful light add to your composition and the curved hill almost at the top of the frame adds movement and a nice sliding feeling to the eyes. Thank you once more!

my dear friend Tony
sorry for my delay. As I noted with my last post, I am often out of city for my scientific search and projects. So, I visit TN and your two posts. But now, I can see two great landscape shots from beautiful nature of New Zealand by your objective and usual quality of landscape photography. Thanks for sharing, best regards to New Zealand with your name. friendly,

Hi good friend Tony,
This is a huge colony of Gannets and you have captured this wonderfully. Great view and as usual your POV is top class. The blue water with the surf looks fabulous and a great place for the Gannets to idle. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello Tony
How curious it sounds December as a summer month, but of course we are in the other side of the planet, ha,ha. Anyway that gannet colony is so numerous that it almost look like snow. How beautiful they are and how beautiful the shot with the cliff upon the sea. Marvellous colors and composition.
Congratulations dear friend.
Hasta pronto.
