Location: Matai Bay, Northland, New Zealand
Matai Bay really is one of the gems of the Far North. Having been far too many years since I had been to the Karikari Peninsula I was thrilled to settle in for a good while and re-discover some of the amazing scenes in this beautiful part of Northland. I was very pleased to find that Matai Bay was almost exactly as I remembered it and not too much had changed. On my third morning there I made my way up to a little headland just on sunrise and captured this scene showing this stunning beach in a very peaceful moment.
