Tasman Seashore

A King Shag sits patiently on the beach. I hiked back along the Heaphy Track today enjoying more fantastic scenery like this. Stillness.

When I returned I found my old friend Matt. A German hitchhiker I picked up and explored around with a few days back. He has been camping here at on the beach at the Kowhaihai River Mouth. The end of the road. The beginning of the wilderness. We made a huge bonfire of driftwood under the stars and invited every other camper, traveler we met.

I met some lovely people that night sipping wine under the stars listening to the waves break. This place is a paradise.
