It's nice to just "be" in that moment...

The last glimpse as we drove away...

These photos were taken years ago in Auckland. We were on our way to a holiday resort when we decided to have a quick stopover by the seashore for a short break. Our driver was in for a wee adventure by the beach and we were too.

We arrived there at around 9:30 in the morning and there were a few people around. Some just sitting by the benches and a few walking along the seashore.

The place is called Orewa Beach in the Whangaparaoa Peninsula which is about half an hour drive away from the City's business district. It's a stretchy, 3 kilometer-long beach which, according to my friends, is one of the finest in the area and I understood why. In fact, if we were not going to another place, I would have suggested we'd stay and bask in the sun while enjoying that magnificence before us.

The beach is breathtaking but my captured photos don't really give justice to how beautiful it is :)

that is beautiful CJ, and very reminiscent of some Scottish beaches. They do say NZ is beautiful and similar to Scotland scenery-wise.

I believe in what you say Tito Ed :) Both countries are beautiful and their beaches too (although I've only been able to see them in photos hehe)

hehe yes that is what our lists are for, there are so many places I still want to see CJ:)

Same here, would be great to see Scotland too :)

Yeah, I think you would like it CJ:)

The beach is breathtaking. I'll be too stunned to walk around first if I see that in person.

Thank you Ayane, it is and it did make me feel so small with its vastness yet grateful too that once upon a time in my life, I set foot in it :)

Those are some good memories. Beautiful beach for sure. I had to look up where it wa, I hope to see New Zealand one day.

Lookibg at the map, I had never realized how much more mountainous is one of the islands. The one you were on looks a lot more flat.

It was :) South Island and Wellington are mountainous and yes, Auckland is flatter :)
