This is where I was heading on Monday morning when I got distracted by the lovely light in the Kaikatea's... This is Hoods landing and is situated just a short distance away from the Waikato River Mouth and was a busy wharf before the road was formed.. The Hawk was circling just teasing me as never seem to be able to catch one closer enough to get a decent shot.. The silhouette tree is our native cabbage tree ( or Cordyline)
