Photo of the Week: Moeraki Boulders

This week's photo is from New Zealand's Moeraki Boulders.  The unique boulders are located on the east coast of the South Island.  The spherical boulders are scattered throughout the beach are several meters diameter.  I visited the boulders with some friends from the Netherlands that I had met while backpacking around New Zealand's South Island.  This particular photo was snapped as one friend stood on a boulder to scan the ocean for dolphins while the others played on the beach.

    I had to look at this photo for a couple of seconds before I could work out what's going on in it. Great shot. :)

    Great shot- I love the contrast in colors and the emotions from the people playing and the other person contemplating.
