@nickspicsnz you are so right. Do you live near there? I couldn't remember where this was taken as we toured both north and south island and loved every minute. Would love to come back once this Covid has gone.
@shepherdmanswife Your photo is so much better than any of mine from there :) Sadly I don't live near the sea - I'm about four hours south of the Bay of Islands. My friend lives across the water from Russell in Paihia, but we go on the ferry to Russell when we visit her.
