This is the first view of the sea on the way out to our batch at Whatarangi. This area is called Whangamona - Cape Palliser ridge, NZ.
I always instantly go into chill mode when we hit this spot, my head says " its time to relax and unwind". I look forward to catching up with our neighbours (our beach family), playing cards, fishing, diving or working on a Pastel.
The evening light tips the fields in a golden glow the light there is magical! On a good day, its paradise, on a rubbish day, we hunker down with a good book and a cuppa by the fire.

This is Liam my son with our two dogs under the oak tree lined lane just out of Greytown.
Greytown is a quaint colonial town not far from where we live in Masterton NZ. Famous for its boutique shopping, colonial museum complete with old fashion printing press and famous shock chocolate. A recent addition is a bike shop that sells the old fashioned kind of pushbikes (even come electric). Good spot for picnics and bike rides. Great food, nice hotels, good weekender spot not far from the vineyards.

You asked me to describe the locations of my landscapes, can do.
This is Cape Palliser - NZ, an area the locals call 'CRAPS'. Unsure if its because there's always been a portaloo there or that the surfing can be challenging. The brave Surfies love it, very rockie, but when surfs up, worth the risk for a good break.
Grannies chairs, left by some surfies, made me smile and I wanted to share the fun. I did turn them round to look at the hills instead of the sea, just for a change and a fresh perspective.
