Moeraki Bowling

Moeraki, a tiny town in eastern Otago district of New Zealand, has

many of these crazy looking boulders right on the beach. Odd-shaped

bowling balls, they seem to be best captured when both the tide and

light cooperate. On that morning I couldn't get the tide to come in to

make some interesting waves around these boulders. But it turned out

to be a nice sunrise.

I love the delicate colors in this shot. Sand and sky goes good together.

Nice image in wonderful light.  We were at Moeracki Boulders last March, but it was 11 AM.  The smooth texture of the sand and seaweed on the rocks create an artistic image.  Nice eye.  Larry

Wonderful image - love the colors, clarity and the smooth sand. From a compositional point of view I am sure the partial rock on the left will grow on me.  Still a very good image!

Beautiful image, great texture

Dear Svend, Larry, Tony & Stefano - Thank you for stopping by and appreciating.

Larry - were you on your way to/from Dunedin? I'm sure you enjoyed your time in NZ. I'm not sure if those are seaweed on the rocks - I thought they were part of the rock face.

Tony - very nice way of giving a critical comment :). I do have another image (attached) without the corner rock showing. Somehow I wanted to include as much of the strange striations on the rocks as possible.
