A journey of memories

Last Saturday James and Danny had a trip to Bethells Beach for a day trip with Auckland University Photography Society! This is a photography club that James was, and still is, actively involved in, and consists of university students who loves photography! It was raining very heavily in the morning and there were around 20 of the PhotoSoc members huddling under the Clock Tower meeting spot.  Despite the streets flooding with heavy rain,  the trip still went ahead as the Vans were already rented.

Arriving at Bethells Beach in the early afternoon, out west of the main city, the rain had stopped shortly before arrival. The beach was beautiful, covered in wet black sand reflecting rainbow coloured lights that sparkled like diamonds as they walked across.

The beach was also very wide and although there were 30 in the group, they were  just scattered all over the place! All that was seen shortly after arrival were different foot prints pointing toward different directions.

When sunset approached, everyone of them found their own positions to capture the golden moment!

Meanwhile James enjoyed his own world in the middle of nowhere…..surrounded by giant cliffs…

Here is what he saw!

Just after sunset, all the members gathered again and left for home. It was very surprising that there was not a single drop of rain despite that the forecast indicated there would be thunder storms that day…. luckily the situation was as such and the day ended pretty much with the gorgeous scene below!
