Cyclone Gita struck our shores in New Zealand today. Apart from getting very wet we were fortunate not to have been affected as many people in some areas have been, having to evacuate their homes. There are numerous roads closed around my area.
I went down to or harbour today to get some photos of he big seas. Got soaked but it was worth it ! Look at the fur seal at the end of the breakwater in the first one. Most of the seals were resting on land. NZ fur seals are quite small and are native to NZ. I think that one at the end was either very brave or slightly mad. We have a penguin colony as well so I hope it was not too tough for them to return to shore tonight after their day's fishing
