Muriwai. A Gannet Colony
The photo above is Muriwai, a Gannett colony which is one of the most ruggedly, picturesque beaches in New Zealand. It is an ideal place to closely observe Gannets in the country and full of the Pohutukawa Tree, New Zealand's own Christmas Tree. The spectacular sunsets at Muriwai are also world famous. That is why photographers love this place.
To take this image, I set up a high ISO to get the proper shutter speed and used a 3 stop ND grad Lee filter to balance the sky and the rocks.

Every single creature needs its home where it can have a rest. Even though it can fly freely in the air, at the end of the day, it needs a place to land and stay. Our life in this world is just like the birds need a place to rest. Our life is like a journey. Even though the journey is so wonderful, our journey in this world will eventually end. We enjoy it because we have our home to go back.
Unfortunately, we are too busy to think about 'home' after this world. We spend each day as if we would live forever in this world. But, today is the day that gives you a chance to think about where you are going to. Please, have a look at the birds up there. As birds fly home, we will eventually go home finishing our journey.
