These pictures were taken on a day walk in the hills (and along the coast) close to where we live in Lyall Bay. The walk has an inauspicious start as it begins on a track close to the Happy Valley rubbish dump. As these places go it is not so bad, though at the end of the day a rubbish dump is still a rubbish dump. The rest of the area is very picturesque, with some fine views of the South Island.
Taken near the start of the walk looking back towards the rubbish dump, which mercifully is just out of view.
Along the tops looking back towards Lyall Bay.
If you look carefully you can see the snow capped inland and seaward Kaikoura ranges.
Looking towards Red Rocks.
After a steep descent we arrives at Red Rocks.
