[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the coast just south of the Hokianga Harbour on the west coast of Northland in the North Island of New Zealand. The sea is often rough and the weather is windy. You can see the plants have grown quite flat to the ground. It is not a safe place to swim.

Just over the water (the Tasman Sea) is Australia, about 1200 miles away.

Photo cropped, sharpened, and exposure and contrast auto-fixed, using Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10.

Wonderful place and wonderful point of vue! Is that a natural park? What a lot of flowers!
You are lucky of living in NZ! I want to go there someday!
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes! Claude

Good shot, you should rotate it CCW 1 degree to get a flat horizon line.
TFS.

Very nice landscape Janice.
I like the composition.
Good details, colours and light.
Very well done.

Very nice Janice. The shot really gives the feeling of being in the wind. Very nice.

Hi Janice

Good landscape. This is really nice composition. The foreground colours against the grey cloudy sky (how unusual for NZ!) really sets the image nicely. Good job. TFS.

Lovely place Janice and you rendered it very well. Great colourful contrast between the foreground and the sky/sea. Great idea with the two people in the picture contributing with a sense of distance. - Only nit, I am afraid that the water will disappear in some short time - meaning the horizon is out of level ;-).

I like very much this picture, Janice.
The vast horizon. I hears almost the noise of waves on the bank.
A great post: picture and note.
Thanks

Beautiful scenery, Janice. Must be windy up there overlooking the sea. This must be rolling hills country. Well done.

The setting here is just beautiful! I like the overcast conditions, it is a similar shade to the ocean. Very good composition as well.

Very well done and thanks for posting.

Jancie, indeed, a very beautiful photo. Nice shades of blue in a great composition. Congratulations.

P.S.: do you know the guys who are on the top of the mountain?
