It was a lovely morning last Friday; waking up down by the wharf at Marsden Point – beside the oil refinery. Too nice for sitting and looking; time for a walk to make the most of it. We headed off for another walk around the beach to the Whangarei Harbour entrance; and then further around south.

On the way back I had another go at getting a bit abstract with the water and sand patterns.

We headed back to where we were parked, but not without a final visit to the tug boat wharf.

All too soon it was time to move off; a couple of dozen kilometres north-west to Whangarei City.
