Owhiro Bay, Wellington - Cam Theme - 11

Cam Theme - 11 - Owhiro Bay, Wellington

Owhiro Bay, (pronounced "Oar Fee Raw" - said fast together) is the southernmost suburb of Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. It lies on the Cook Strait (the band of water between the north and south islands) - and is situated south of the city centre.

There are 11 pics in this week's "CAM". Click on the image for a larger view. Previous posts can be viewed by clicking on the "Archives" section to the right. Once I figure out how to name the archive posts you will be able to see each specific post name rather than just dates...

Next CAM - (theme 12) will be shots of fauna and flora collected from our travels around the region.
