Just a few local adventures I had while living in Whakatane in 2024.
Milkyway from Port Ohope

Night photography from Port Ohope, we were out looking for the aurora one day too late.

Stars and clouds

Then the clouds also arrived on the scene, but it made for some interesting glimpses of sky.

Ultimately, this shot after the clouds took over was the shot of the night.

Whirinaki

On a wander to Whirinaki waterfall - I took better shots of the side streams than the actual waterfall.
