The Otago Peninsular

One of our favourite spots is the Otago peninsular, a thin slither of land that branches off from the mainland to the southeast of Dunedin.  It has a heady mix of fabulous scenery and abundant wildlife.  Of all the beaches to see, Sandfly bay must top the bill and on our Christmas trip I took this shot giving a slightly different view to ones seen previously on the blog.  The weather was a real mixed bag with some rain, cold and fabulous sun mixed together.   I snuck out for a quick look pre-dinner more in hope than certainty as the cloud cover was pretty thick.  The sun was breaking through intermittently and my final result can be seen below.

 

I even got back just as dinner was being plated up!  The light became spectacular as the sun set around pudding but it's not every day that family from the UK visits and there is always next time...
