Beach sculpture

We went out to the west coast again today, but this time a bit further north on the Awhitu Peninsula. This circular piece of log, firmly stuck in the sand for the last few years, made for a good photographic subject.

Oh wow Diane. That is brilliant.
Happy New Year to you also and hope you have a great 2016.

@nickspicsnz Unfortunately, this part of the coast can only be accessed through private property, and is a rugged 4 wheel drive track down to the beach. Hope the weather clears for you to show your friend around the Awhitu area.

I saw this on PP and had to come back and ask again how big it was. It looks like a person could stand inside it. Is it about 20 feet tall?

[tony gig]

Brilliant...Fav

[Dianne]

@bella_ss It is about 6 feet tall - a low pov gives it a gigantic look!

[Sheralee S]

@dide this is one of the best shots I've seen for making it look amazingly big.

[Lesley Chisholm]

What great colours with the black sand, smooth wood, blue sky and green hills. A very striking image. My kids would love to play on this.

[Rica]
