The real
attraction is hidden behind the dunes: The Moeraki Boulders.
Perfectly round rock marbles, ranging from a foot to 2 meters in
diameter, partly broken into pieces or interveined by yellow crystal
streaks. They are a fascinating sight, lying on the beach as if they
just rolled down the cliffs. They are millions of years old, each
having 'grown' around a core (shells, small stones, etc) buried at
the bottom of the sea and packed tight into the huge boulders they
now are, brought up above by the endless changing landscape.
They didn't let go
of us for several days and we went to see them at day, dawn, night
and dusk. Each time they were beautiful. A really magic place that
fascinated us.
wow these pictures are basically amazing :O how did you do the night pictures? and what camera do you use/lenses? really great pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteHey there, thank you! The night pictures are done with an Olympus OM-D EM1, 12-40mm f2.8 lens. It was a long exposure with a tripod and some light painting on the boulders. The night shots are from my partner Kay, visit his website if you are interested: www.kbrocks.com . Cheers! Lisa
