How's this for a sandhill? by maggiemae

How's this for a sandhill?

Towering over the holiday cottages near Mangawhai north of Auckland on the east coast.

We sat an looked at this view while lunching at the old historic tavern which is right above this tidal river.

Three good things:
1. Lovely hot day - up to 25 deg C
2. Watching a huge earth moving machine making a new driveway in the property we are in.
3. Really good pork sausages for tea.
Nice view

Go and get a boogy board and have a slide down them... neat shot..

That is one monster sand dune!

Great watching others work, John would be interested in watching them digging. A rather modern structure across the bay there. That is one very large sand hill.......

@happypat Exactly right Pat - having driven earth moving machinery when he was much younger, he loves to watch!

Excellent good things - especially summer on its way!

Looks a peaceful venue to see while lunching.

Nice spot but a monster of a sand dune !!
November 10th, 2015  
@jgpittenger We also have bigger ones - like the size of a mountain but not in an easy accessible area.

Very pretty! It almost looks like a desert with oasis.
November 10th, 2015  
That is quite the spread
November 10th, 2015  
@maggiemae ah, you still should come...our are 1/2 mile from where I live!
November 10th, 2015  
That is an impressive sandhill!
November 10th, 2015  
That's quite a hill. It seems to dwarf everything in front of it.
November 10th, 2015  
looks like there's a lot of snow at the back! when are you coming to toronto?
November 10th, 2015  
I didn't realise NZ had such large sandhills!
November 10th, 2015  
@summerfield Hopefully next year, Vikki!
November 10th, 2015  
so peaceful
November 10th, 2015  
Wow! Huge sandhill but a great view
November 10th, 2015  
A very impressive sand castle (dune). neat capture.
November 10th, 2015  
Wow... big hill!
November 10th, 2015  
I'd call that a dune rather than a "sandhill"! Fabulous scene.
November 10th, 2015  
@kwiksilver You are quite right, Gillian - I temporarily couldn't remember the word dune! Stupid brain!
November 10th, 2015  
Wow I would give a lot to go there !!!!
November 10th, 2015  
That is a big one!
November 11th, 2015  
@maggiemae hehe ... that made me smile! I have been in that situation so often! ;)

Love the blues and greys and beautiful horizontal lines.
