sights of northland!

As promised, a few pictures from Northland. These are, unfortunately, all out of order due to similar layout issues I was having with the last post. If you start at the bottom of the post and work your way back up to the top they are pretty much chronological.

Ella in front of the Big Papa of the forest. Keep in mind that she's probably a solid twenty feet closer to the camera than the tree is, so those proportions are off by quite a bit.

The beautiful Four Sisters.


Ella at work constructing our prized tarp. Note our car, the dutchess, in the background.


Me shortly after waking up, still with a zillion layers, with a new friend in the background and rolling green New Zealand hills behind him.

That's on the black sand beach of Goat Island if your back is facing the water. I like to assume that penguins live in those dark spaces on the bottom since there are penguins that live in the area. Unfortunately, we weren't at the beach at the right time of day to see them.

Ella at the edge of one of the rocks at low tide. You can see Goat Island in the back on the right of the shot.

Around that far curve is where the pink beach is. We didn't bring a camera with us so you're just going to have to believe us on the pink thing.
