Tongaporutu and the Three Sisters on a Gloomy Day

Tongaporutu on the west coast north of New Plymouth is home to three outcrops towering up out of the beach.  They are called the ‘Three Sisters’.  I deliberately went on a gloomy day as I wanted to capture the other worldly feel, and beauty, of the place – a dull, subdued light with heavy clouds (and rain at times) certainly helped!  The images from this visit have just been posted – see Recent Images Gallery.  Access to the Tongaporutu beach and the three sisters is only at low tide but is a simple and short walk toward the river mouth and beach.  Just south of Tongaporutu is another beautiful place – the White Cliffs.  More on that another time…
