    Love the focal point of the seal and blackbird having a conversation. Nice color contrasts.

    Thanks Photowannabe.

    Keropok Man, thanks for that.
    The trip is on last weekend (26/Oct(night)~28/Oct)and this series of photo is taken just on one day (27/Oct).
    Here Nelson to Blenheim is less than 2 hours drive and Blenheim to Kaikoura is about 2 hours plus.
    I prepared another two shots, from this trip.

    No, not at all, Piika, I had to fact-check a few times to know I got it right. But then Hawaiian and Maori (NZ's indigenous people) are related and some of the words are similar if not the same. Moana, for example is a Maori word as well.

    Thanks Lachezar.
    We have few seal colonies around top of south island. This is one of them.
    Famous one is at Kaikoura and Abel Tasman National Park.
    I'll try again sometime, but I need telephoto lens to catch better close up.
