Home Point by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

A Side 7 exclusive! The Busby Head ridgeline lies to the west of Smugglers Bay. On the other side of this outcrop to the north is a WWII-era coastal battery overlooking Whangarei Harbour. Unfortunately we were on a schedule and couldn't afford the hike out.

Across the bay, the Marsden Point Refinery can be seen in the lower right.

Original photo taken May 2014.

Nice capture, getting Lord of the Ring vibes for some reason.

@EyeballEarth: I believe principal filming was mostly South Island, but yeah, no surprise why Jackson wanted to bring it home.
