Castlepoint

Castlepoint was such a cool place that we spent most of our day there, hiking. That place basically consists of compressed seashells (very sharp and pointy) and from a geological perspective absolutely fascinating! But first my question to the audience: Who was it? (Picture 5 (and, btw, not at all the only one I‘ve seen here.)) :D Please come forward in the comment section. :D
Castlepoint is another one of those places that had hiking trails that were closed down due to risk of landslides or unsecured, riskier paths. Take a guess what we did? Yep. We went for the view. I take it as a good sign, btw, that whenever there‘s a steep slope and I decide to go down in a reverse crawl, Maddie looks back and nods approvingly. As she often puts it: “You can either choose to go down on your butt, or the mountain will bring you to your butt.“
When we were wandering around the beach, I suddenly saw two inconspicuous little objects that might have looked like rocks to most people. It was the only ones there, nothing of its kind anywhere else to be found around there: Paūa Shells. Aren‘t they pretty?
BTW, the 14th pic shows what I assume to be the aforementioned "sea lice"; tiny nasty jellyfish that sting you. At least those won't anymore. :)もっと詳しく
