Makara at midnight

If you live in the Wellington area, I strongly recommend a late-night trip to Makara Beach sometime. The car's headlights on the ocean look amazing. Throwing sticks for the dog can be a bit tricky, as can stumbling around. It's all well worth it though. The sound of the ocean, the blackness, the stars.

We weren't the only ones with this idea either. A car drove up to the start of the walking track and then someone came walking out of the darkness and got in. The car then drove away. Maybe there's an innocent explanation, but it looked pretty dodgy to me. (They were probably thinking the same thing about us.)
