Truman Track Blowhole

Further up the coastline from the Punakaiki Blowholes there is a walk called the Truman Track. Here you find another blowhole, not quite on the same scale as the Pancake Rocks but still a nice feature to the coastline landscape.
Limestone has weathered to form caverns and holes and when high tides coincide with westerly swells, seawater surges into the caverns beneath the rocks and spurts skywards in the form of spectacular geysers.

Taken with a Fuji Finepix S5000,3meg camera, ISO 200, quality is not the best and I used neat image to remove most of the noise. Thought you might enjoy the view.

Hi Kathleen,
I certainly do enjoy the view, i love to see shots from different coastlines around the world and this is a great example. 3mp/12mp who cares when the composition and view are as interesting as this. Well timed with the blowhole in action with nice marine colours. very well done,
Paul

We have a spot in Mendocino County Coast where many TV ads have been filmed, movies as well. They have these blow-holes as well and as pictured so well here by you today, they are an amazing sight when waves are high.

Very good depth to this picture giving it a majestic perspective.

Hi Kathleen,
Here although it is a not good camera but the capture is very well and that is I think only because of a tripod. Excellent composition and colors. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Kathleen, Wonderful shot and very nice landscape. the flashing of the water takes me back to my childhood memories. Very well done. TFS Ganesh

Hi Kathleen,
Nice coastal photo. I like this photo because I used to love watching waves hitting rocky shores. Now I live far inland I don't gett that opportunity anymore. Nicely composed photo,
regards
Matt.

A beautiful coastline...Outstanding POV and composition...Excellent DOF and natural color...TFS

Hi Kathleen,
Sorry, I am not so sure about the composition of this photo. It looks like the horizon has a small lilt. The water spray is also too centered and a bit too far into the scenery. A bit closer and more to the left facing the ocean a bit more would probably be better.
TFS,
Niek

hello,
You get it in the right time! We can feel the power of the ocean! You froze this moment very well with great details and excellent composition and exposure! Take care Ana:)

Hello Kathleen,
Well done
Nice view.
Good compo...

Hi Kathy,
I missed this one before so here I am now.
I know this spot well. Theres another blowhole high on the shelf to the left but it only blows on very high tides.
If you walk across the shelf there are amazing photo opportunities too.Some brilliant holey rocks and huge caves in the cliff face around the corner.
Along the beach to the north are some fantastic spots too. Big caverns and the logest nikau I've ever seen growing along the ground and then up.
My favourite blowhole is the big one in the south end of Seal Island at Woodpecker Bay.
I think you've seen my shots of it.
Cheers,Steve
