view from Signal Hill

Signal Hill is located just outside of Dunedin, to the northeast, and you can drive to the top. The first photo looks to the southwest, back on the city, with the camera at its widest angle. You can see both the harbor and the ocean, and you can see how close they are to each other. At that closest place, the land in between is flat, and the worry about erosion at the ocean beach is that the flat area would be eaten away by the waves, and the harbor and the ocean would be connected there. The rest of the photos are zoomed in, panning around beginning with a view to the southeast, then south, then west. I should perhaps clarify that Dunedin is on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Near Dunedin the coastline takes a turn, and right at Dunedin, the coastline runs almost due east-west.
