A little fanciful, perhaps - but it was something to do with the shape of the cliff, placed heavily on the beach :-)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673353294971363327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-38278341751860380942015-01-29T11:40:43.867+13:002015-01-29T11:40:43.867+13:00Zhoen, speaking of geology, I was surprised to see...Zhoen, speaking of geology, I was surprised to see so little evidence here of the Christchurch earthquakes. I'd expected the cliffs, particularly on the Scarborough side of the bay, to have been badly damaged, but they appeared almost unchanged.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-12229838586606013872015-01-29T10:45:12.341+13:002015-01-29T10:45:12.341+13:00Lovely.

Sometimes I have reservations about the compulsion to photograph, but I'm glad I have this one to reinforce the good memories, not just of this scene but of being there with my sister and older brother.<br /><br />gz, the first time we visited, during the weekend and earlier in the day, the beach was swarming with people. Although still a lovely place, it lacked the tranquility of this evening.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-91018051693533470012015-01-29T01:16:00.285+13:002015-01-29T01:16:00.285+13:00a picture that makes you sharply breathe in....and...a picture that makes you sharply breathe in....and relax.
