sunsets, cape foulwind and the pancake rocks

Here is the last post from our little trip a couple weeks ago. We had a great time. Coming back we started out near Cape Foulwind… one of my favorite names of locations I know of. We saw some seals, sorry no pics…. we might play a little game with that in a later post, some fantastic sunsets, and of course we saw the famous pancake rocks.

These pictures are taken of Cape Foulwind.

Sun rays going through cloud cover during sunset = cool.

It’s no Cape Reinga sign… but we’ll take what we can get. So you know exactly where we are.

These are the mountains popping out above the cloud line. It was a pretty spectacular sight!

These flowers reminded Andre’a of bells.

We found this Weka bird and her babies…. they are not the sharpest birds in NZ. But hey, we got a cool shot of it anyways. They are one of NZ’s many flightless birds.

This is called a ”koru”. It is how the ferns and just about every kind of plant life grow down here. The Koru symbol represents new life.

Here are the pancake rocks. The pancake rocks are cool because no one knows how they are formed. They defy all the laws and rules of science… but I know how they were formed, but you cant tell anyone. God told them to grow like that, so they did.
