One of the most famous places on the north island of New Zealand is Coromandel peninsula. Amazing stony coves with far rocky islands like a teeth of dragon from seas are maybe the most visited in this area. But also very popular is “Hot Water Beach“, where you can literally dig your own spa during low tide. Yes, no kidding. I spent there only one night, but amazing and memorable one. The low tide came after sunset, so the spa was under stars and in the morning next day, 7th June 2014, enjoyed very strange view to setting center of Milky way and Venus in zodiacal light on the other side. Starry panorama made by Canon 6D, Sigma 15 mm, f3.5, ISO 5000, 13×20 s from tripod. Hot water beach is also panorama captured via Samyang 24 mm, f4, ISO 800, 7×1/125 s.
