School’s Back Soon

Our school holidays in New Zealand end soon, and next week the kids will be back at school. So they are making the most of the high tides each afternoon, and the wharf is crowded…

I took this photo about 4pm on Thursday at Murrays Bay, where I live. This is a very popular wharf used for recreational fishing mainly. But come autumn to spring, weekends, school holidays and after-school hours, not many fishermen come when the tide is high because the wharf is too busy with guys and girls jumping and diving off it.

I love summertime. . .

Good evening Janice.
Never fly too high. Everything what goes up have to come down.
Really a perfect captured moment. Great timing.!
The lad is really trying to fly like a bird. The way He spreads his wings is proffesional. Pitty the landing would be wet. haha
Excellent and nice looking picture, Janice.

Good freeze of action, Janice and you captured it as if the jump is really high in the air, by this pov without anything below except water.

Well done. TFS

Haha. Great capture Janice. Love it!

I think this is one of your best TL postings....this is the sort of standard that wins competitions.

If I'm not mistaken I think that's Rangitoto in the BG?

Congrats and TFS. A wonderful camera capture.
