[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Spirits Bay is located at the northern end of the Aupouri Peninsula at the northern tip of New Zealand's North Island. At the western end of the bay is Cape Reinga, from which, according to Māori legend the spirits of the dead leave for their journey to the afterlife (hence the bay's name).

The stillness of this shot is in perfect keeping with the title and the Maori legend. Sharp detail and subdued colours and lighting add to the effect.

Wonderful Tim...wonderful!!!!

Lovely lead in Tim and the detail and lighting are spot on.

So you were up north over Anniversary weekend Tim - and you would have had good weather too.
This is a lovely composition - and another of your excellently focused and attractive scenes.

HI Tim

Impressive view and location. Looks quite bleak and moody. Good saturation. Great effect. TFS.

Best wishes,

I love the colours and contrasts here and the sinuous shape of the spit of land. Details are all sharp and tones smooth. Nice landscape shot.
Thanks for sharing
