Coastal

I love coastal. This is where the sky meets the sea which meets the land. What a trio! Our camera club has Coastal as a theme in March. Here are a few photographs that didn't make my cut.

New Caledonia 2015. Tres beau.

New Caledonia is a territorial collection of islands of France located 750 miles east of Australia in the southwest Pacific Ocean.  

Just over 7,100 square miles in size, New Caledonia has a population of approximately 256,000, a mix of Kanak people (the original inhabitants of New Caledonia), people of European descent, as well as those of Polynesian and Southeast Asian descent.

98% of the population speaks French.

Noumea, the capital served as a U.S. military headquarters in WWII for the South Pacific. It was first used as a penal colony for 40 years. It later became a centre for mining in silver and gold. Noumea is one of the most developed cities in the Pacific Islands.
