Cathedral Cove

The beautiful Coromandel Peninsula on the North Island of New Zealand has many golden beaches; perhaps the most famous of these is the beach at Cathedral Cove. Recent rock falls meant that access through the arch was closed - we took the risk and went through anyway. You may recognise this scene from the Narnia film 'Prince Caspian'. This is an HDR image - made up from three separate exposures in order to cope with the wide brightness variation in the scene.
