New Zealand Near Mangatoetoe, North Island

The coastal road about one km east of Mangatoetoe at the southern end of the north island of New Zealand. This was late afternoon. At other times the lighting would give a totally different effect. Seals (of some description) like to bask on the rocks in this area and a bit further to the east is the Cape Palliser lighthouse.

The weather and lighting conditions are very variable so you never know what you will find in this part of the world but there are many opportunities for photos.

The only access to this area is by car. The road is un-made but with care is easily negotiable in a normal car.
