Autumn impressions 2014

Autumn is here

Although temperatures are still high during the day  - like 22-24 Celsius - up in Northland, there is a nip of a chill in the air. This the end of our long and gorgeous summer we had this year - starting from November un until end of April actually - lots of sun - I loved it. All pictures below were taken this month and in the eco village.

SANDSCAPES


Bethells Beach


 

Below is a picture of the hill we climbed.


Three pictures showing a secluded veggie garden - the house can not be seen from where I was standing. Quite the location to live there.










Views from the hill....the first shows a big dune with a lake behind it close to the horizon

Amphibian rocks









Leaving the roaring ocean behind  - into the dunes
