... Yes Fishing..having so many beaches, lakes, and rivers, fishing is a big pastime/sport here in New Zealand.. New Zealanders love to catch fish and eat them!

Here we have some fishermen on the black sands at Mokau Beach, one hour north of New Plymouth in the Northern Taranaki Region... I took this photo yesterday on our way home from our Easter holiday in Manaia, Taranaki. We had 5 beautiful days of sunshine.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter..

Comments and critques welcome.
Cheers
Dawn.

Really like the nearly parallele lines made by the sand, the waves, the layers in the cliff and the fishing lines, contrasting the horizontal water level. Great compo.

Hi Dawn,
A beautiful shot of people enjoying their break. Lovely colours and movement of the waves. Nice one.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Dawn.
A lovely clear photo. It really is a popular pass time here in NZ. We went to Castle Point on Monday and a lot of fishermen there fishing off the rocks ..they were amazed at the weather. One guy said they NEVER get 3 fine days in a row. It was a treat this Easter wasn't it

Nice photo Dawn - lovely colours, I particularly like your capture of the black Taranaki sand. Good composition also!
Thanks for sharing

Hurrah! You're back.
And what a shot! And it isn't early in the morning either. Great catch Dawn, and your colours are nice and bright too.
We had super weather up here too - the best Easter for a long time.
See you tomorrow!
Janice

Excellent composition Dawn and clear, sharp, bright colours. Well done! Can't get over the Easter weather. We had a perfect stay at Tawhauranui-even swimming in the sea!!
Best wishes for tomorrow night. Cheers, Pat.

Well now, Dawn -- If I had scenery like that for fishing, you might very well find me down on the shore more often too!
Great composition, with the edge of the next wave just into the frame from the right

Hi Dawn,

Beautiful landscape beautiful the place, the colors, the formation of the crag to the bottom and the light is fantastic. A landscape a little similar for here, just changing the scenery.
Very bright colors and POV.
Congratulations

Another beauty, Dawn. Nice compo, well saturated colours, and of course that beautiful NZ landscape.
Well done, TFS

What a beautiful scene you captured here Dawn. Colors are superb, as is the detail. Love all the lines created from the shoreline, sand marks, and rocks in the bg. The water looks refreshing and waves captured very well. The colored shirt on the man adds a nice visual touch. Nice shooting Dawn and TFS. Lyndon

Hi Dawn,

Not only New Zealanders but Greeks too... :))
Excellent POV with vivid colours and lighting!! Did they catch anything? :)

Well done
