Kaikoura - Seal colony

You can't really VISIT Kaikoura without at least taking the short drive out to the seal colony.
I like wandering over the flat rocks looking at all the minuscule sea life that abounds in the cracks and 'holes' of the rocks - even more perfect on a sunny day when most people are doing that thing called work.

You might even get lucky and actually see seals basking on some rocks. Just don't venture too close...

Kaikoura dramatic skies

I always like how the skies over this part of the world change dramatically.
It was taken after I took the photo of the sculpture where the folk are looking skyward.

Unfortunately I didn't think at the time to get both sculpture and sky in the same pic - sometimes happens when one is on limited time....
