Whale Watching...

Today we got a 'Head up' via facebook that there were some Orca's in the Harbour.. so thought we would take a drive out to one of the local beaches to see if we could see them...
@dide and I along with my two youngest Grand daughters went and sat on the beach and waited .. but no joy but had a lovely time anyway .. Here is Shay looking on the cliff top viewing spot to see if we could spy them .. The local Steel Mill is in the background...

No Orcas, but what a wonderful shot you got. Really nice candid of your granddaughter, beautifully framed and with an interesting back drop.

[Dianne]

Cute little whale watcher - maybe next time we'll see some.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful pov

[Babs]

Wonderful shot nevertheless. Pity no orcas were spotted though.

Nice candid of your grandchild. Interesting background too.

Great candid and composition

[Brett]

Better luck next time I suppose but it is a great picture with nature in the foreground and industry in the back.

[Lynne]

Such a great shot

[Taffy]

It would have been fun to see the orcas, but this is a beautiful scene anyway.

[Jennifer]

lovely shot, that would have been amazing

[Delwyn Barnett]

This is a lovely shot - I love that you don't have to have the person facing the camera for a beautiful candid shot.

[Denise Wood]

terrific capture :)

That Mill still piling out the smoke - or hopefully steam! Makes a good background to the tranquility of this coastal area!

@maggiemae All steam I think Maggie... the Mill is very complient..

[Pat Knowles]

Love the plaits! Sounds a lovely day out orcas or no orcas! Is that Huntly? Love the contrast of the beUtiful scenery & the industry in the background.

[Dawn]

Nice candid

@happypat Haha.. no Orcas in the Waikato river Pat.. no this is the Manukau Harbour and NZ Steel

[Jane Pittenger]
