    The essence of what New Zealand is as a country is very closely linked to the ocean. The straight horizon line, in which sky and sea meet, has a sense of home. (6x12 / Horseman View): by paekakariki, Views[198]
         		 'Sundays we go to church!' (4x5
         		 As Islanders, Kiwis have a strong relationship with the coast, affecting all parts of their culture. (6x12 / Horseman View): by paekakariki, Views[176]
         		 Many 'baches' have become full-time homes for people seeking a subsistence lifestyle away from the city. Whole communities of people have chosen to live here permanently. Paekakariki seems to be particularly attractive to all sorts of creative people, who are struggling to find inspiration in the limitations of urban living, providing them with a new sense of freedom and the romance of a simple life. (6x4.5 / Mamiya m645): by paekakariki, Views[696]
         		 The ideal of a cottage on the coast is inscribed in New Zealand culture. Paekakariki village started as one of the first ‘bach’ locations - the iconic Kiwi term for these little holiday homes. (6x12 / Horseman View): by paekakariki, Views[204]
     
    As we climb up the big hill, we can't help glancing back every few moments to check the intensity of storm. It peters out by the time we reach the bus, but we are exhilarated from our near brush with a tropical storm.: by ericaannmeyer, Views[92]
         		 The funnel grows in length and width, stretching from the clouds down towards the point where the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet. Our group decides it's time to hightail it back to the bus.: by ericaannmeyer, Views[137]
         		 The swirling water intensifies and a funnel begins to form. It's still a 20 minute walk back to the bus, but we can't tear ourselves away from this weather phenomenon.: by ericaannmeyer, Views[113]
         		 Our group should be concerned, but the colors and light are captivating. We hold our ground and take out our cameras.: by ericaannmeyer, Views[72]
         		 We arrive at sacred Cape Reigna, the northernmost point of New Zealand. The Maori people believe that when a person dies, their spirit travels up north to Cape Reigna before departing to the heavens. But we arrive to a wall of water headed straight for us.: by ericaannmeyer, Views[88]

         		 Where the River Meets the Sea & Beyond, View from the Estuary composing North & South Islands of New Zealand in One.This nationally-significant reserve protects a natural mosaic of freshwater lakelets, saltwater lagoons and marshes, tidal sand flats and sandy beach at the mouth of the Waikanae River. Foreground – Waikanae River Mouth opens to Waikanae Beach, North Island. Middle Ground (far right) - Tahoramaurea Island (Browns Island), a small offshore Island at the Southern tip of offshore Native Bird Sanctuary, Kapiti Island, North Island. Background – Marlborough Sounds, the north-easternmost point of the South Island. New Zealand. : by kahikatea, Views[295]
         		 A Red-Billed Seagull (Chroicocephalus scopulinus), native to New Zealand, rests on a post as it looks over the tidal flats of the Estuary. More than 60 species of birds breed at the Waikanae Estuary. They depend upon the constant movement of the river and the tide which opens up twice a day to reveal a feast of worms, shellfish and crabs.: by kahikatea, Views[3439]
     
    Ebbs & Flows at the Estuary. Tidal posts mark the rise and fall of the Tasman Sea as it mingles with the fresh water of the Waikanae River ritualistically meeting twice daily with the tides. This mixing of the waters and the ever shifting river mouth create an environment of rich plant and animal communities. : by kahikatea, Views[287]
         		 Golden Hour on the Estuary. A Little Pied Cormorant (Microcarbo melanoleucos) glistens bronze as it spans its black wings soaking up the warmth of a golden winter sunset. More species of coastal and aquatic birds visit Waikanae Estuary than any other site on the Wellington coast. : by kahikatea, Views[525]
         		 Ripples across the Estuary. Abstract colour and pattern are reflected and rippled across the otherwise glass-like surface of the estuary lagoon. At Waikanae Estuary, freshwater from the Tararua Ranges meets the saltwater of the Kapiti coast. Waikanae Estuary Scientific Reserve is connected to the Kapiti Marine Reserve and to Kapiti Island Nature Reserve, providing a rare sequence of protection for animals which move between sea, river and land habitats. Wellington, NZ. : by kahikatea, Views[561]
         		 Inside the studio. Putting her hands in clay and creating something from the earth allows Heather to drift away. She does not use potter wheels as she feels it disconnects her from the clay she is sculpting. A radio mumbles monotonously in the background. : by ninazondag, Views[415]
         		 Heather Chesterman is a potter and sculptor living in solitude in the depths of the Tapu Valley, Coromandel peninsula, New Zealand. She makes her work in this small studio next to her home which is surrounded by her garden. The garden is technically open to visitors but sees few as Heather often puts up the closed sign. She loves to have it to herself. The garden has a stone circle, a labyrinth and a native bush walk as well as many sculptures by different artists.: by ninazondag, Views[1149]
     
    At first the studio appears to house a massive sink but the studio does not have plumbing. The bucket is emptied elsewhere.: by ninazondag, Views[435]
         		 A collection of tools by the window. The clay doll figures are from a fundraiser several years ago for one of Heather’s daughters. Heather made the tiny figures in casts whilst her then 16 year old daughter dressed them in clothes made from the silk provided by another artist. They sold these at fairs to raise money for a one year exchange to Italy. : by ninazondag, Views[505]
         		 Heather sells elephants such as this one at a travel agency in Nelson, an art gallery in Wellington and a little art shop in Thames. She also reserves a few for her outdoor display area which remains, rain or shine. : by ninazondag, Views[438]

         		 Carefree. A group of my friends on a pebble beach where we stopped for a breather during a road trip. Perhaps I love this photo because I can see in it each of their personalities, but I think even for someone who doesn't know them the photo shows a laid-back playfulness and a sense of good times and togetherness. : by jetha, Views[209]

         		 Wanaka, New Zealand. This according to locals is one of the the most photographed trees in the world. It's obvious as to why that is so. : by craiggeorge, Views[480]
         		 The night before our day trip to Milford Sound the weather forecast was for storms, 100mm rain, high winds and zero degree temperatures. We were initially bitterly disappointed ........ that is until we spoke to the locals who told us we were going to see Milford Sound at her most majestic ........ and we did. It was an incredible day and one that I will never forget.: by craiggeorge, Views[290]
