Moeraki Boulders

I have always been fascinated with the Moeraki Boulders, strange spherical boulders found only on this one part of the coast outside Oamaru. The boulders have been exposed through the erosion of the cliffs and are obviously some sort of natural phenomena, although theories abound as to their other worldly origin. They have an almost soccer ball hexagonal pattern and a gold color inside. They beach was crowded with tourists so it was difficult to get some good shots without people in them so we stopped again on our way back from Dunedin and took some more photos with the tide in and the darkened sky. You may note that the same boulder that has an unknown figure bursting from it in a later photo has a wave crashing over it.
