ABCD Entry



Here is my entry into ABCD,  the photo was taken this morning, by my 11 year old son Nathan.  Conditions were shocking and we got drowned as a rat coming home.  It was very windy also.  In this pic I am looking North over Waiheke Island, it is blowing about 50knots a rain squall is on its way.

As New Zealand is the first country in the world to see the new day.  I wanted to get a sun rise but it was not to be.

  1. Now that's a lovely, moody shot Roger! Really shocking weather here in Coromandel too - the wind is pretty scary.

  2. Geoff: It was a case of ride, shoot and run back home. It was and is very yukky today. Oh well at least we gave it a go.
