Easter Sunset at Papamoa.

Norfolk Island Pine trees, always such sentinals on the coast line - many were planted over a hundred years ago as a sign of land for the early ships, before radar etc. I like their symetrical shapes.

The breakers were rolling in gently . .

Sunset looking down the beach towards Mt Manganui, one or two fishermen and groups of people walking were the only signs of life, even the seagulls had gone to roost where ever they roost - or do they sleep bobbing about on the waves ?

Papamoa is a seaside resort town on the East coast of NZ, much tamer then the West coast where I go often. I now have 2 families living here, so will be spending more time over this way.
