Moeraki Boulder
Photo By Ray Boren

Title: Moeraki Boulder
State/Province/Region:
Country: New Zealand
Nearest Area: East Coast, South Island, New Zealand
Nearest Town: Kaikoura
Brief Directions: The boulders are on an isolated beach (with public access) on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island north of Christchurch.
Notes: The boulders are a short hike from the main coast highway on New Zealand's South Island.
Best Season: Summer
Description: The huge Moeraki boulders are very unusual, almost spherical rocks created in seawater in primordial times. They are now eroding from a sandy bluff, and several are in the water during high tides; others are poking out of the bluff and have not yet fallen out. Many were apparently collected for "landscaping" in years past.
Gear: Nike D70, wide-angle lens

Thank you Stephen Faulkner! Indeed, I was 'chuffed,' although I confess I had to Google the meaning of the word (!)

Thanks Lorenzo for the kind words on Oregon. I thought I'd share this shot also of Kauai. I know Laura is planning a trip there, so I tried to add some images for her to take a look at!
