This is a (short) long exposure shot of Split Apple Rock, which is located just south of the Abel Tasman National Park, between Kaiteretere and Marahau.  After a 10 minutes walk down through some bush you come out to a long stretch of deserted golden sand, with the unmistakable Split Apple Rock sitting just off shore.

We arrived just after sunset (which meant it was dark when had to walk back up through the bush!) to a incoming tide and a calm sea.  If you look closely you can see that the rock is used as a perch for the local Shag's (Cormorants), and there are a few perching in the trees as well.

Cayoning in Able Tasman was awesome... However not for the faint of heart! Definitely scared me numerous time. Rappels and zip lines where awesome, slides were a little scary... But the jumps... OMG... So scary. I couldn't even do the second one (despite amazing and cute, lol, guides).

A Kiwi friend recommended this spot, and I'm glad he did.  One of the unique things you can do is stand on the dock and watch the eels writhing around in the lake. Creepy, but interesting!
