Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, on the edge of the Paparoa National Park. Nearby are the well known 'Pancake Rocks' and blowholes. The pancake layering, which is limestone, can also be seen in these rocks. Punakaiki is named from the Maori words 'puna' for a spring (blowholes) and 'Kaika' meaning 'to be in a heap' (pancake rocks). The West Coast is famous for its greenstone carving. Known as Te Wahipounamu in Maori, meaning ‘the place of greenstone’ This picture seemed better without a frame so I have resized up the 2MP original. I hope it displays ok in the larger version.

If you love something, set it free.
It it comes back to you, it is yours.
If it does not, it was never meant to be.

Be true to yourself so you can be true to everyone else.
Ahhh... the crisp blue waters, sky straight out of an Old Masters canvas... I don't feel like going to work today. Quick, what's the nearest airport to this place?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I say what I say because that is my honest opinion. I don't kiss ass because I find that gross and repulsive.
SOOOO wonderful! I absolutely love the colours, the contrast and the composition. Beautifully done! I wish I was there:)

The emotions, the tears, of wasted years, wash over me like a cold wind out of the north. I tremble and shake, with each breath i take, and there's no one around me that cares. Dwight.
Very pretty picture. I like the ruggedness of the picture. Very nicely done.

Could blue be any bluer? Could New Zealand be anymore beautiful? You are so fortunate to have so much beautiful terrain to capture in your photos. Don't stop. Also, thank you so much for the detailed information you provide. It really contributes to having a sense of where this is and even though a "picture is worth a thousand words", it makes what we're looking at more immediate.

Are that indeed people on top of the rock?

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

it's hard to believe that i haven't seen this before. it's a real beauty. i love the carved rocks, the color of the water and especially the little toupees that the rocks are wearing.
