The Mighty Ocean Draws Me.......

[Keenlearner]

A Day Out Fishing, and a Beautiful Sunset At The End Of A Very Enjoyable Day.

On the Firth of Thames NZ there are many Mussel Farms where fisherman are always welcome as the Snapper deplete the Mussels at quite an alarming rate, so the more fish caught, the better the conservation of the shell fish supply. The fisherman just pull in to one of the lanes and anchor to one of the buoys...the cheats way of ensuring a good catch.


Fletcher Bay, Coromandel NZ

A very beautiful but quite little Bay at the tip of the Coromandel Peninsula.


Earth, Sea And Sky.

This was the view as we sat out in the middle of the Ocean looking back toward the Coromandel Ranges.


A Beautiful Rainbow, A Tree and Me...Kaiaua NZ

On our way home after a days fishing, we stopped off to take a break from driving as the weather closed in.

I hope you enjoy.

Me too, and I love this set. Thats a fine haul of fish you've caught there but I have a question about the picture above it please. Are they a series of bouys in the water marking crab/ lobster nets, and centre horizon, is that a cloud ? Thanks

A lovely set here ...really like the collage.

Thanks for sharing these

Gorgeous, all of them are gorgeous. I don't know how you can stand to live in such a beautiful country. My jaw would perpetually be at my feet. I was scrolling down and drinking in each of these images and then got to the last one. The sea, the rainbow, and the lone tree. Magnificent!

It doesn't get any better than that does it? Lovely shots and good fishing... Best of two worlds.

Yet another set of beautiful views from your lovely country. The collage is so very well put together with a nice story of fishing, then two more lovely views and finally and my favourite of this great collection, the rainbow. Your composition in this one is so good and a gorgeous photograph too. It is always a pleasure to view your work Pauline.

Thankyou Beach. They have hundreds of lanes of buoys roped together and weighted with massive anchors to keep these farms in place. They harvest only Mussels from here, the oyster farms are located in a different area. The centre horizon is actually the Coromandel Ranges in the distance.
