‘Uluwatu Temple IV’
…large sea swells appear to dwarf the temple above them.
i came for the building, but was blown away by the beauty of its natural surrounds…

‘Sparkling Sea’
…diamonds on sapphire, a vista that enriches..

‘Hit The Surf’

‘Under The Wharf, Above The Waves (X)
…images of the underside of wharves are recurring favourites of mine. in my mind they are places of transition, neither totally in sky or sea. transition from one thing to another is not always easy…as the stark criss-cross lines and encrusted beams in this photo allude to. periods of transition are never our destination but need to happen sometimes in order to get where we mean to go…

‘Wavelength’
…we float together on the same wavelength, serene…

‘Cut Off And Drowning’
Peace and love to anyone feeling like this; not every New Year is happy, I know…

‘On The Waterfront’
Auckland’s Tamaki Drive on the Waitemata Harbour – one of the great urban waterfronts. A gusty nor’-easterly wind was up at the time I took this shot last week, as the crests of the waves attest.

‘When Nothing Is Calm’
…then all is tumult…

‘Surf Mosaic’
…looking down on what’s coming in…

‘Resolute’

‘Wave Upon Wave’
…and still they come, one after another, beauty and peril mingled in their unremitting flow…

‘Surf Song’

‘Spume II’

‘Spume’

‘Just Over Water’
…a wavering wharf, just over waves – my life most of the time!

‘Incoming’

‘Surfer Girls’
After the storm on Sunday at Mangawhai Heads, the sun broke through the following day and the waves became less messy.
With that, two intrepid surfer girls made ready to challenge the ocean.
Camaraderie and anticipation; clean breaks, churn and spray awaiting the pair.

‘Made For Storms’
Sunday kicked up stormy conditions in Mangawhai Heads.
The Pacific Ocean was far from pacific, and Sentinel Rock wore the force of the lashing nor-westerly wind and smashing waves.
The Rock is beautiful when it is calm, but is truly made for storms.

‘Salty Dog Day Afternoon’
…oh, to be happy and free as a dog amongst the waves…
