Default Action at Ocean Beach, Raglan NZ

Speeding across the water as the wind pulls them along.

I think these are called kitesurfers.

Nice beach shots. You didn't, by any chance, run into Brian's chair while you were there? An autograph now could be worth a fortune in years to come.

Thanks Jim, while enjoying watching the windsurfers I saw a large crowd of people gathered around laughing at something so I wandered over to see what was going on, and yes there was Brian's chair being photographed, lol. Unfortunately the line was too long so I didn't get an autograph, never mind luckly I'm married to the photographer.

Two lovely captures of the kitesurfers and the Eagle collage is outstanding work. Your amazing work is a pleasure a day.

A lovely selection Angela, your work is always clean and clear, with lovely colours and so crisply presented.
I like them all, the kites in the first two always remind me of gulls flying, and the eagle shots are great, but you know my view on multi pictures, I like them all separate so I can see more detail, and this would be a quality set of six pictures.

Thanks Steve, unfortunately the lens I had at the time didn't have a long enough zoom so the eagle shots came out a bit grainy, so I made them into a collage of smaller shots so they are clearer.
