I really enjoy living in the East Coast Bays of Auckland, NZ. The view is ever-changing.
Even on a cold, wet and windy day the view over the Hauraki Gulf is awesome (except on grey, drab and dreary days... like yesterday)
Today we had heavy showers but lots of breaks with blue skies and the sun peeping through the clouds.
This is Rothesay Bay beach, just 1 1/2 kms north over the hill from where I live.
