Abel Tasman's broken stone Photo

Photographer’s Note

Abel Tasman National Park is a national park located at the north end of the South Island of New Zealand. The park consists of forested, hilly country to the north of the valleys of the Takaka and Riwaka Rivers, and is bounded to the north by the waters of Golden Bay and Tasman Bay. It is named after Abel Tasman, who in 1642 became the first European explorer to sight New Zealand.

The Abel Tasman Coast Track is a popular tramping track which follows the coastline; while an inland route, the Abel Tasman Inland Track, is less frequented. Kayaking, camping and sightseeing are other activities carried out in the park.

The scene on the picture is one of the many fantastic views that you can enjoy kayaking and hiking around this National Park, that is a "must" if you come to New Zealand.

I hope you like my picture
Best Regards
Víctor

Hello Victor .
I suppose that this extraordinary rock is well knnown , but I had never seen a picture of it . It is so fantastic ! The grey sky creates a dramatic atmosphere , and the birds add to the beauty of the composition , and give the scale .
Thanks for the share .
Regards
Denis

Hi Victor,

I love the sense of the darkness .. the symmetry of the birds on the split stone is wonderful .. the starkness of the stone and the infinite water is great. very effective image. take care, John

Hello Victor,

amazing rock, it looks as if it was a statue. The birds on the top of two halves give life to this gloomy horror looking beauty.

Best wishes

Hola Victor,
Una foto increible, no solo por esta roca extraordinaria pero por la luz y el cielo. Me gustan los tonos grises. Muy buena!
Buenas noches,

Hola Victor,
Me encanta la piedra, es fantástica. El tono grisáceo general de cielo y mar y la luz crean la atmósfera perfecta. Y los pájaros le dan el toque de vidilla.
Muy atractiva y con mucha fuerza.
Un abrazo,
Mirari
