A place to sit and listen.

March is the month for rainbows in Oamaru.

Here we see a beautiful example rising above Oamaru Harbour, reflected light from the clouds lighting the green waters below.

Oamaru Breakwater is all that stands between the harbour and the roaring sees of the south Pacific ocean. 

Storms bring huge waves breaking over the stone sides, sometimes, at high tide, the breakwater can disappear completely under the waves, so take care if you want to capture a photo yourself!

Check out the history of the Breakwater here.

A break in heavy fog lights up a wave from a distant sunrise at the Oamru Breakwater, Oamaru Harbour.

Captured at 1/1600th of a second the water appears to shatter like glass against the stone.

Moraki boulders lie on the beach close to the small village of Moraki, on the Waitaki coast.

As the sea erodes the cliff, the boulder slowly emerge until the erosion causes them to fall to the beach below.

A major tourist attraction for the region, the boulders attract visitors from across the world.

The boulders are concretions ,  a hard, compact mass of matter formed by the precipitation of mineral cement within the spaces between particles. Occasionally, concretions contain a fossil, either as its nucleus or as a component that was incorporated during its growth but concretions are not fossils themselves.

These strange objects were once thought to be the eggs of giant creatures lost in time. This belief was quickly denounced by the scientific community......but we know better!

Boaties skip across the Avon Heathcote estuary, Christchurch, with a winter storm looming on the background. Light breaks through the dark clouds in the distance.

Two lights, one at the end of the Breakwater, one at the end of Holmes Wharf stand as sentinels in the night guiding the lonely sailor back into Oamaru Harbour to safety.
