Aramoana, Māori for "pathway of the sea", is nestled at the head of the Otago Harbour, Aotearoa New Zealand.

The place always feels in motion with the tides, sand, wind, and waves perpetually playing with one another. It's a unique environment, and I'm forever grateful a planned aluminium smelter did not get built here in the late 1970s.

Heyward Point overlooks the area and affords this view of the sinuous sandspit southeast of the settlement.

I love walking up there; it's high enough that you feel like a bird (or drone?) looking down through flocks of gulls soaring in the uplift from the cliffs to the surf crashing far below, but keeping your feet on the ground.

First in a triptych of hybrid photograph/generative line art pieces from a recent wander.
