Thames-Coromandel District
The Thames-Coromandel District is a territorial authority district in the North Island of New Zealand, covering all the Coromandel Peninsula and extending south to Hikutaia.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rugged and mysterious, yet also a place to flop on a beach and watch the waves roll in. Uncover the history of this remarkable peninsula while you indulge your need to escape.
The inspirational natural beauty of the Coromandel has led to the area becoming a haven for artists and crafts people. Take time to discover the many galleries and studios—you'll gain lasting pleasure when you purchase a piece of art directly from its creator.
Looking across the Hauraki Gulf from Auckland, the north of the Coromandel Peninsula can be seen on the horizon. Although only 90 minutes from Auckland, the Coromandel feels like it's a world away.
An impressive, heavily forested mountain range runs right up the middle of the Coromandel peninsula. It is bordered on each side by kilometres of spectacular coastline.
On the west coast, there's a never-ending parade of beaches, coves and harbours lined with pohutukawa trees (a red flowering native of New Zealand). The eastern side of the Coromandel is furnished with an amazing collection of white sand and surf beaches.
The Coromandel's fascinating history is evident in gold mining relics, logging dams and ancient Maori pa (fortified village) sites.
The past can also be found in the charming colonial architecture and historical buildings preserved in several towns around the region.
An oldie from the asylum, the decay and amount of features from this shutdown beauty were locked away from prying eyes. It sure didn't disappoint
Some monkeys walk in the rain, and the baby follows mum and just gets wet.

From last Sunday evening when the fog and the colors in the sky were so special. Taken in Fljótshlíð, south Iceland. Shortly after I took this photo there was nothing left to see, just fog covering everything.
