Papanui Inlet

Otago Peninsula, South Island

as in any coastal area the sun can disappear very quickly behind a bank of clouds...yet a grey sky seemed to enrich the ambience around these boathouses at Papanui Inlet..the pointed peak is named Harbour Cone...a reminder of the areas volcanic past

many thanks to Micky for taking me to this place, definitely off the beaten track..

Hi David,the soft light really intesifies the red roof and the tide was just right for a well balanced composition.All makes for a lovely picture,and of coarse for me good memories.
Cheers Micky

Beautiful composition. The soft light is great, and the red sheds contrast with the grey of the rest of the shot. Very nice and very NZ! Well done

Very interesting place, and it could be nice for isolation mood, when you don't feel like communicating with people, just you and nature... V

The soft, diffuse light adds character to this inlet in paradise, bringing to life how one might image such a place to look - the gentle curve of the water leading to the mountains just beyond ; the simple, rustic boathouses, and an old boat anchored in the channel.. A fine image! BV
