Before the Storm.....

A photographer friend and I left Blenheim at 6.30am this morning and drove to Manakau Lodge just north of Kaikoura. We stopped on the way to photograph the dawn sky near Peketa Beach and again at Kekerengu. As we got out of the car there the wind turned from mild nor-west to a roaring southerly with torrential rain. Once at the Manakau Lodge we attended a day-long, very informative workshop on Adobe Lightroom tutored by Neil Prothero, an amazing Landscape photographer.... Thanks for a great day NEIL.
