Hi folks, Ive not long been back from a trip in our motorhome, our first two nights we spent here at Matauri Bay, Northland, North Island, New Zealand.

The camping ground is situated right on the beach front and this was our view from the motorhome. It was a beautiful relaxing place to stay, and so inviting to take a swim.

Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Dawn

Hi Dawn,
The nuances of the blue water are amazing! Excellent capture of the wave and nice effect of light on the shore. Very relaxing image. Bravo! Annie

I love these beaches up here in the northern part of Aotearoa, and Matauri Bay is a very special one.
My bro-in-law spent a lot of WW2 stationed here guarding Northland from the invading Japanese. Can you imagine all those young NZ soldiers camped in tents - lots of rugby was played, and they must have done a lot of fishing too. And their social life - miles from anywhere - notthe best for them!!
Super view Dawn, lovely natural colours. Did you go for many swims?

Hi Dawn !

Exposure is great too of course.

Medium BW? An excellent POV Dawn. Good colour and light and lovely detail. Some parts here had snow yesterday so I will pass on the swim. TFS,

To be honest with you Dawn the thumbnail was not impressive, but upon opening the image - WOW. Colors are vibrant and the clarity and composition is really impressive.

Hi Dawn,
This is a fantastic seascape, you can almost hear the waves roaring toward the shore. Very well composed, vivid colors and crisp images, tfs,
Fran

PS...the water is still a bit to chilly here for a dip. Yours looks warmer, lol!

Now I would not mind seeing this from my motorhome Dawn.

How privileged you must feel, and I would be glad to take you up on your invitation and walk right in (how cold is the water??- I can manage from 16C and up).

TFS
