Photo: Ripiro Beach Picture Seagulls Tasman Sea New Zealand

A pair of seagulls stand by to watch a motorcyclist cruise along the shores of Ripiro Beach as the Tasman Sea surges along the coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
Ripiro Beach is situated on the Pouto Peninsula which forms the northern entrance of the Kaipara Harbour - one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
