Raglan skies on a freezing day...


Last time we were in Raglan, a couple of hours away, it was a very Spring-ish day. Here in NZ, we have weather known as "4 seasons in 1 day". We had looked at the weather forecast beforehand and it had said rain in the morning but it would clear up by lunchtime - all looked promising. Once we arrived there we stopped off at this part of the beach, got out of the car into freezing cold blustery wind - definitely  not something to enjoy. I managed to hold my camera steady enough for a minute to snap this photo of the road going past the coast, to the left was one of those quintessential kiwi baches that people sometimes still holiday in. Looks like the owners would get a great view on a sunny Summer's day - definitely not this day though.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

Yes, I love the looks of that little beach cottage. Interesting about the four seasons in one day!! Pretty shot.

This shot reminds me of Costa Rica for some reason.

Brrr. I have been feeling some of those winds lately. It looks sunny but a southerly comes up and hits you with a frigid breeze.

Hello, it looks windy. I can see the white caps of the waves in a corner of the photo. Pretty scene and sky. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!

One of the few things (another being Big Skies) that NZ shares with the Outer Hebrides is the "4 Seasons in 1 Day".

Very pretty, it would be nice to reside in that cottage right across the street. Such a nice view.

Every once in a while, not very often, we get one of those days. Four seasons in one day.

Oh I know about that four seasons in one day thing Amy, happens here in Perth too now and then. I reckon the view from the little beach house would be brilliant whatever the weather ☺
