 This is Owhiro Bay pronounced ( Oh-feer-oh )It is the last bay in Wellington that you can get to by car. You can go further with a 4x4 in fact if you go around the next bend it takes you to a place called Red Rock which is home to alot of seals. This is the same place that I took this photo of Judi.



However today we had much nicer weather here.

I love the drama of the plunging slope of the ridge across the water. Nicely done with such difficult light.
