Went back into town noticing that there was a misty look at the coastline that I thought would photograph well. I ventured across forbidden territory here to get this shot ( “there might be serious injury”). This particular piece of coastline has been eaten into recently with fierce wave action. It became the focus of this shot with the geology in the cliff! I’d love to know what the layers meant!
Three good things:
1. Our friends from the Mt Cook adventure had another one trying to get home! Spun off the road doing a slide, then a 360 and then into a bank. Amazingly had no damage - to car as well as passengers but they had to stay a night in a Central Otago town before venturing onwards.
2. John found 5 bags of cash in his wardrobe that he had saved - the coins. He cashed them in and now has a heavy wallet!
3. I’m looking into his wardrobe to see if there is anything more hidden?? (we don’t have walk in ones - just separate).
Lovely misty moodiness to this coastline which you have captured well. I too am fascinated by the prehistory that cliffs reveal - in a parallel universe I might have become a geologist.
@snaphappi Its interesting to see what you might have chosen as a profession after the event! I think I would have wanted to be a policeman (lady) except for the writing of reports!
@happypat Think I'll just have to find a stray geologist in Oamaru and ask him about the cliff structure. There is another huge cliff here that has just been investigated and was stated to have been several volcanoes millions of years ago!
A beautiful image of colour and texture! The rock formation is so interesting -,I wish I knew more about it. What a lovely find in John's wardrobe -,bags of money! I wish I could find something exciting in mine! Only dusty old shoes and handbags! Which reminds me I must have a clearout! Fav for your fab composition!
What a perfectly composed capture of the amazing cliff and mist. My first thought is the different colors in the cliff are different layers of soil and rock. Wonder out many years it has taken to reveal all that? I'm glad Sadie made the trip back in one piece.
@lesip There is clay there which is probably the reason for the wave battering this gap out, Leslie! Sadie breathed a sigh of relief when she got home!
This is a stunning photograph as well as being fascinating. Geology has always interested me. I just love the layers and the colours. Big Fav.
Husband is out so off to search his wardrobe before he gets back!!
Comp, colours and textures here are wonderful, fav for me! In one of your recent comments on my shots you mentioned that your son is looking to settle somewhere in Canada. If he likes big cities, he would probably like Toronto. One of the things I like about it is that it has lots of green space. But it's also a somewhat expensive place to live, and the public transit system, which used to be considered one of the best in North America, is rather falling apart. It seems to be hard for the various levels of government to decide what to do about it, or how to pay for whatever they decide on doing--and it will take a long time. On the plus side though, we no longer have Rob Ford as mayor, a fact for which the rational beings among us are profoundly grateful. Just my two cents' worth about the city I live in.
@tristansmum Thanks for this Stephanie! Nice to know. They are presently in Vancouver but think its too expensive there. Last time I heard they were in Canmore looking around.
Love this shot but then geology is my subsidiary degree subject. I love feeling the rock,looking atthe layers and finding outwhat's happened over quite a fewmillion years. I like the erosion notch you've captured
What a gorgeous shot, Maggie. Must fav. Glad you didn't get injured in the shooting of this fabulous scene. Not fun about your friends. Glad nothing or nobody got injured. Loved the 3 things. 5 BAGS??? How big were the bags? Keep searching his closet and make sure to check shoes and other things!

Keep hunting you never know what you'll find
