Day Trip North

[Wazza]

Well I've just got back from a neat trip up North a bit...discovering places I've never been before.

Our trip lasted just under 9 hours, and covered 631km.. including a few breaks, and LOTS of photos. :D

Anyway
We headed North up from Auckland, via a West route, all the way up to Waioupu Forest.

I'm getting into lots of random shots, that often come out with some nice effect. Still playing around with the camera, and even some mods on Photoshop all for fun,
The first one is when we're cruising along at 110km/h, I decide to take a pic of this tower and barn.. Somehow I got it in nicely framed - no cropping.. (only image resizing). :)

The journey begins..

Our first stop was approximately 200-220km North of my place, at Bayley's Beach.

Looking South along Bayley's Beach.. Seems everytime we make it to the water, it's VERY rough.. This is Tasman sea, the gap of water to that small town called Australia.

Just behind us, were these cliffs... all were tagged on with marks and scratches, but the sky against the cliff was rather contrasting and nice.

Car Crash!

:'(

Nothing too bad... broken glass everywhere, no one in the car.. probably happened over this 4 day holiday weekend.

Kaiiwi Lakes....

Not the best weather, but they looked so great.

The water was crystal clear.

Forest road... 32km of winding bends... :rolleyes:

But beautiful native trees all around.
