Knights point

Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 13 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

A beautiful layby on the side of the road with the most vicious sandflies with the biggest teeth and the quickest bites. Hence photos were very hasty

I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Beautiful place Debbie. I can see why you went with a fast shutter speed (I hate biting bugs also!).

ahhhhhh this is 5 minutes from where i used to live!!! oh you are killing me Deb! haha!! it is so cool here coz when it is low tide you can actually do a special guided walk along the beach to these rocks and see the seals and huge elephant seal that live there up close - but then you have to hike up the steep cliffs!!! oh this is just beautiful! haha i even almost miss the sandflies!!! haha ok maybe not!
