The Shag Rock beach is another beach in Christchurch. It’s very beautiful, like New Brighton Beach. At least you can see New Brighton Beach has no rocks, but Shag Rock has a pile of stones that gives a natural beauty. It looks like a castle.
This beach has a road for runners and bikers along the shore. The view was beautiful, but there was nowhere to stop to take a decent picture of the coast.
I came to this beach to photograph the sunset. I guess the universe was not in agreement with me. There were no beautiful sky colors, but I still got decent pictures. Maybe next time.
Emilia Wickstead
“To escape and sit quietly on the beach – that’s my idea of paradise.”
“B.E.A.C.H.: Best Escape Anyone Can Have.“
While sitting on this beach and taking in a positive energy, I was thinking about many things and remembered this poem.
I stand in silence Reaching with my eyes MyGod - you are beautiful I love the way you fall Softly losing space I follow you down As you paint the sky In your leaving I wish we could so confidently follow our heats~ Leaving only ripples of light In our wake My secret lover I want you only to myself How many times Have I come here With my sorrow You lift me up In your fall ~Cindy Smith~
Let’s practice coming to the beach to declutter our brains and detox from technology, at least just for a little bit.
“Nothing soothe the soul like a sunset on the beach.”
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Even though the sunset was not spectacular colors, which New Zealand is known for, I think I could capture the beauty of this beach.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Foam is white and waves are grey; Beyond the sunset leads my way.
