WHARARIKI BEACH<br />

WHARARIKI BEACH, GOLDEN BAY<br />

F11, 8s, ISO100<br />

My favourite South Island beach and home to some of the most spectacular<br />

coastline in Aotearoa, Wharariki offers endless vistas with wind-sculpted<br />

sand dunes, beautiful rocky outcrops, and the Archway Islands - two giant<br />

monoliths rising out of the ocean at high tide. Due to its remote location on<br />

the top northwest corner of the South Island, it is off the beaten track of the<br />

main tourist route.<br />

Although this area is known for dramatic weather, I captured my most<br />

treasured photograph here on what I thought would be a disappointing<br />

sunset, with completely cloudless skies. The shoot was saved by the find of<br />

a very calm tidal pool: in its reflection, I was able to capture the perfect<br />

symmetry of the islands.<br />
