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 />
