I went for a walk yesterday afternoon. It was a cool, clear, and perfectly still day. There is a walkway which goes from the Glen over the hills to Cable Bay. Its only 5 minutes from home but I had never walked it before. The track takes about three hours but yesterday I just walked the first hour of it, to the first lookout. The views looking back towards Nelson were stunning. I will now make a point of doing the full 6 hour return trip taking my SLR camera gear with me.
In this photo you can see the Boulder Bank streching away into the distance sheltering the Nelson Haven from the waters of Golden Bay. The farmland in the foreground gives way to the sand-flats, then the Nelson Haven (at half-tide). Nelson is at the far end of the Haven by the harbour mouth.
