Curio Bay
Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 4 December 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Helly and I then found Curio Bay! This wild and mostly uninhabited part of the South Island is just breathtaking!
Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)
If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

Yes it's all very well but you haven't mentioned what rock type it is! Looks like sandstone (or possibly limestone?) to me. Isn't this the place they have Petrified logs lying around? Next time you go to such a lovely place must forget just taking a stunning photo and do a full rock analysis instead. ;o). Seriously - lovely shot including the splash. Does it remind you of Aran? It does me, but maybe if you see the fuller picture of the area it wouldn't so much. (and of course it's all limestone in Aran!). xxx

@YouKnowWho: Ahhh...ever the geologist Sis!! If you go to this post you will saee the very Petrified Forrest you are talking about.
It very much reminded me of Aran though you are right in guessing the surrounding area was not that similar.
Thanks for poping by my lovely Sis!!XXX

Great photo of such a beautiful place, Liners! I'd love to spend a whole day taking photos there!
Oh, since I didn't get a chance to reply to your comment the other day, I'd be glad to treat you to some sushi and chardonnay anytime!

Great shot, the rocks are just barely holding the sea back.

A beautiful shot - and the kelp just adds that extra element to the rocks. This looks like a really special place to visit.

Great, great capture! I love that big splash against the rocks and the water is such an amazing color. I'd love to explore the tide pools on the rocks, but the sea looks a bit rough and unpredictable. What a great place to visit, you lucky duck!

beautiful rugged coastline, much similar to the South West corner of Australia close to where I live... you even got a wave crashing through in there - very nicely composed and captured!
