Pamela Moresby
This is Army Bay towards the end of Whangaparoa peninsula. About an hours drive north of Auckland.
Army Bay is not the end but the tip of the Whangaparoa peninsula is owned by the Army and is used as a shooting range, so it’s off limits to the public.
However Army Bay is opposite to Shakespeare Regional Park.
I like the tree … a great shot
Thanks Vidocka, glad you like the Pohutakawa tree. It usually has red flowers at Christmas so it is a natural New Zealand Christmas tree.
Pamela very beautiful picture-wonderful and interesting trees
those trees are fantastic!
Thanks Alex, these are Pohutakawa trees, they are hardy and resilient! Some last over a thousand years. They are really tough and suitable for a swing to be attached from sand to beach and even water. Mostly old tyres are used for swings attached by a rope. People love them.
They’re quite beautiful, like a dancer
Yes, they are and particularly great when in red blossom at Christmas time
Whoaaa… The tree is one of the best natural works of art… An inspiration for the most beautiful bonsai.
Thanks Albert, glad you like it, these are far larger than bonsai.
Yes, Of course… Just inspiring!
I love the tree reaching out to the ocean. Great capture!
Thanks so much Doc, glad you like it.
It’s beautiful…Is No one allowed to swim there?
