New Zealand - Kaikoura coast line

All these were taken on the 16 of July 2007 just outside of a lovely town on the east coast of the south island of New Zealand. Kiakoura used to be a fishing/whaling town but now things have turned around and people go there to see dolphins, sperm whales and other wildlife (those photos will have to wait till another post!). These photos were taken whilst walking round the beautiful beaches and coast line (colour ones using Fuji 160 and B&W's Kodak 400TX)

My wildlife stalking was pretty useless!

The lazy wildlife was much easy to get close to. These sea lions sleep on the grass right next to the road and car park, and they really do stink as well!

As a geeky marine biologist I can't resist taking a photo of anything interesting I found, this is an urchins test showing its Aristotle's lantern inside
