Nugget Point–Part I

This is the first part of some photos I took at Nugget Point which is along the Southern Scenic route in New Zealand.  It is a remote spot that you can drive to and then walk into (only about a kilometer or so up hill from the car).  There is a light house there and that was what I was photographing.  I decided to walk up to the light house to see the view and I was shocked when I got there.  I had no idea that this magnificent rock formation was out there in the ocean.  It was lightly raining which meant I had to keep putting my lens cap on and off while wiping the lens filter in between.  It was also extremely windy.  I’ve never seen my trip move around in the wind like that.  Of course, that kind of wind coupled with light rain was cold on my hands an face.  After setting up the shot and cleaning the rain of the lens, the sun poked through the clouds lighting up the rocks and creating a faint rainbow.

I will post more pictures from this beautiful place later on.
