Black Sand Beach on a Grey Day

A full-colour photo of Ruapuke Beach. We went out on a day trip to Raglan with our friends today. Unfortunately the weather is still grey and raining so we didn't stay long at this beach.

Talk about black sand! It was probably cold too! Better today!

[Pat Knowles]

Been on this beach many a time as our son & DIL & family live fifteen minutes in land from here in Whaitetuna. Will be on that beach soon, do hope it's better weather!

very minimalistic and quite stark nick . looks cool

[Simply Amanda]

Nuts that this is full color! :-)

[Debbie]

Well that enough goominess to suck the soul right out of you. Haha
I can imagine in a bright clear day the blue skies would look amazing next to the black sand

[Gena Pegg]

Simplicity at its best!!

[Rick]

Wow, and I thought the ocean sand was dark. Doesn't even compare. Cool looking shot.

[Rachel]

It is so monotone that it looks like a b&w!

[Paula W]

I like the simplicity of the shot.

[Stephanie Swift]

Bleak and beautiful.

[Vera]

That ground looks so surreally black!

[Sue Cooper]

It seems strange but this looks really good on black.

@happypat It was a bit of a scary drive along this road but I'd like to go back on a day when it's sunny and warm instead of cloudy and grey.
