This is a focus post about the driftwood on the beach in Hokitika. If that doesn't sound interesting, I would skip it. 👋

Hokitika is located on the west coast just below the alpine mountains on the South Island. As a result, some of the wood which is brought down by the alpine rivers to the sea washed up on the beach. The result was a wonderful array of driftwood.

There was an annual driftwood festival  and the recent winners can be seen here.

This looked like a sheep with a friendly bird on their back. 

LOTS of skipping stones.

Many shelters of course.

Layers and layers of driftwood.

There was always a gull.

One of my favorites.

Mixed media.

A few more favorites.

Gull added later.

The sea mist on a cloudy day.

Simple as stones on driftwood.

The wild one.
