Opunake mornings 16/04/2012

 Middleton Bay a bit before the sun rises through the cloud cover this morning.

 Up towards New Plymouth

 The mountain and ranges lurking under the clouds today

 Much the same towards Wellington

 An unusual line of foam across the outer mouth of Opunake Main Beach this morning - perfect combination of the surf, the tide and the wind to create this. First time I have seen one here.

Sunlight starting to light up the sky in a very subdued manner this morning.

 Opunake Main beach

 It is beautiful when the sun gets up enough to colour the clouds

Change of direction for the wind vein this morning.
