‘Fog Over Water (White Stripe)
…an opaque band of fog layers itself over a calm Waitemata Harbour.
Rangitoto lies mainly shrouded behind the thick vapour.
unusual, beautiful…

‘Sparkling Waters’
…‘Waitemata’ means ‘sparkling waters’ in Māori language. Today was a crisp, bright, winter’s day in town – the name of our entrance on the sea certainly rang true…

‘Flying Underwater’
Quite privileged to have had the recent experience of wading in the tidal waters near Gisborne, amongst stingrays.

A view in my home town that I have seen probably thousands of times, but never tire of!
