and than there is NZ My husband who had stayed behind when I went to the netherlands wanted to go out as well. We went with friends for a weekend to Okarito a coastal settlement of 30 people on the West Coast of the South Island. It has a stunning views on the mountains and a beautiful lagoon, home to lots of birds.
Sunset on the first evening, Lucky
The reflection of the mountains in the water was magical
Many people went for a walk on the beach on this mystical night
Our friend filming the powerful waves
A constant play of crashing waves
The lagoon The men went fishing from the old hut
Remains of old times make for a good picture
The trig walk was a steep track to the top but this view was worth it
The pointy peak on the right of this mountain range is Mount Cook
You certainly capture the beauty of Okarito Marja. How lucky you are to live in such a spectacular country like New Zealand.

DeleteThe above views from west coast of Okarito leave one speechless. Nature is beautiful everywhere, but there are places such as this one where it is closer to God, to Heaven, to Paradise.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same It felt like paradise but we were very lucky as you get often rain over there
DeleteNice, restful scenes. The first, so rosy, is my favourite!
