Bring on the weekend!
Photographer Peter Stretch says his photo of a seabird on a Whangamata Beach sunrise is a favourite: “For me that shot epitomises everything Whangamata means to me because every day is different and every day is full of promise.” This week’s HC Post celebrates the long weekend thanks to Labour Day — a day off for many New Zealanders, commemorating the struggle for an eight-hour working day.
