Moeraki Boulders

---

It was my special wish to go and see Mouraki Boulders. It was about the only place in New Zealand I knew about before I came here. I had seen a picture in a calendar showing "Dream Horizons". And I wanted to take pictures myself. Unfortunately the Weather was not to good, but we still enjoyed this accumulation of huge stone marbles.

Born by the Cliff...
Like dinosaur eggs boulders erode out of the cliff.

Further to the Sea
This one is heavily carved by the tourists.

Breaking the Eggs
When the surf finally breaks the boulders their inner structure presents intself. Several layers of differently colored stone with a characteristic crack pattern around a hollow core.
