Except from local website:
"Loch Ard Gorge is the site of the most famous shipwreck on the aptly named Shipwreck Coast. The Loch Ard ran aground crashing into Mutton Bird Island in 1878. The only two survivors Tom Pearce and Eva Carmichael managed to drag themselves to the safety of the beach inside Loch Ard Gorge. For a moment, these two tragic teenagers were the talk of the English-speaking world, which very much hoped they would marry (they did not). Walk along this sandy beach, dramatically closed in by towering sandstone cliffs. Explore several other short walks in this area including the cemetery where Tom and Eva’s less fortunate shipmates are buried."
I have stopped droning for a few months now. I will be droning in NZ next month.

...I love the bird's eye view!
ReplyDeleteQuite different from ground shot
DeleteSo sad, yet so gorgeous. Wild and wicked.
ReplyDeleteThe water is treacherous there
DeleteGreat view! It is amazing the two teenagers survived the shipwreck. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYeah, hence the rocks here are named Tom and Eva
DeletePreciosa la fotografia con la espuma blanca producida por el choque de las olas contra las rocas.
ReplyDeleteSoy Antonio Rodriguez
DeleteA different coastal water view
DeleteThe water has an interesting green color and seems to be flowing rapidly. A must dramatic photo.
ReplyDeleteTom's and Eva's survival is a nice story but it's a bit sad they didn't connect in the right way. Maybe it was a class thing. New Zealand....exciting.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the story of Tom and Eva. Thanks for sharing it. Your photo is fascinating!

ReplyDeleteStunning shot. Enjoy NZ.
Loch Ard Gorge is not far from some of the 12 Apostles that you photographed not long ago. Pretty rough down that way!
ReplyDeleteThat is nice and I have an idea I've been there several years ago.
ReplyDeleteI had to think about "droning". I imagined that you were imitating a pipe organ. Interesting post. I look forward to your NZ shots.
ReplyDeleteA lot of droners use that term. Hehe.
DeleteThat’s a great photo and thank you for including this story. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI remember being there . It looks indeed very rough for sailors.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like dangerous waters.
ReplyDeleteGreat view.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy New Zealand next month.
All the best Jan
Por lo que nos dices es un lugar tan bello como peligroso. Si parece que el destino tras el naufragio de los dos jóvenes podría indicar que hubiera sido el pasar el resto de sus vidas unidos.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Se ve bonito pero peligroso. Besos.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting story behind the image, Roentare! At first I didn't know what I was looking at, thinking it a leaf with some kind of foam on it. I looked at some pictures of Shipwreck Coast online. I can see why it's deadly for ships and sailors. But it's also remarkably beautiful! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteWOW, wild waters, so I can understand the shipwreck situation.
