Nikon D3 / 20mm / f.11 / 1.6 sec / ISO 200Piha, located at the west coast of the North Island, New Zealand, is one of the most beautiful surf beaches . The beach is covered with black iron-sand. It's amazingly beautiful when the sky is reflected on the black sand. However, the beautiful reflection of sunset is not something we can easily encounter. Though I've been to the beach many times, I saw it only once and I didn't have a camera with me. I totally missed a great chance to capture the wonderful sunset at the Piha beach.
Today, expecting the real red sunset, I went to the beach with my daughters who love the Piha's black sand. They were playing in the sand and I was watching the sky, wondering whether or not it's going to get coloured. It, however, came very near getting red. The image above is what I got today at the Piha beach. Though it's not what I expected, it's still ok because I saw something better than I expected; my daughters' happiness on the black beach.
