Claw Back the Sands of Time
Early morning shoot at Wainuiomata Beach, the end of the world, not quite but the next stop is the south pole, wind that will slice your ears off and sand/gravel that will sand bast your car, not a place to swim. image taken on a Nikon D700 with a Tamron 17-35mm lens.

I consider this to be my best work from 2008. Just had this done as a large canvas, just stunning.
