Different coastal rocks in close proximity

While we were waiting for the ferry from Tiritiri Matangi back to the Whangaparaoa Peninsula on February 8th, I browsed the shoreline and was surprised to find rather different (and differently photogenic, and differently wet) sections of rock in close proximity.

These were close not only to each other but also to the lichen on dark rocks you saw here a few days ago.
