Raglan beach and itchy legs

This was a interesting day. I tried to paint on the beach but was attacked by too many sand flies and way to much self consciousness , so I packed up and trekked up( it is a bloody steep walk!) to the capark. As I stopped for a breather (My old Grumbarcher easel is beautifully but heavy) I turned back towards the beach and saw this vista. But I was too buggered to paint, too itchy to concentrate and the path is narrow and not ideal to set up an easel, so I took a photo and worked from that and some notes I made at the scene( first note : bring insect repellant next time).
