unexpected

near Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand

road trips coming up have been looked at for photo possibilities, yet it is often the unexpected sights that prove the true delight

on a past trip to New Zealand already knew about the Moeraki Boulders, but did not expect the treat of seeing a few of them split open to reveal their colourful mineral content
