What's The Point?

I got out of Queenstown on Christmas day and head south to the southern most point of New Zealand.   I got lost that night and ended up on  a gravel road.  I have maps and gps in my cell phone but could not quite figure out where to go.  That Christmas day was one of the hardest driving days.    My final destination was Nugget Point.

The great thing about driving in New Zealand is sometimes what you see on the way to a place is better than the place you are going to.  Or at least you see something unexpected.  There is always an abundance of rolling hills, cows and sheep and you may just see a surfer too. 

I was in  a race against the sun to get to Nugget Point.  When I final did get to Nugget Point, I had to take yet another gravel road.  This place is one of the most beautiful points in New Zealand and you would figure they could put in a real road. The sun was about down when I got there but there was just enough light to grab the incredible shot above.  It was worth the trip.
