I've upgraded my laptop to Win10, and I have this wallpaper on my screen:

Archway Islands on Wharariki Beach

Archway Islands on Wharariki Beach

I like this place and I wanted to know - where it exactly is?

Search in Internet gave me this old post about windows wallpapers and similar question on Microsoft site with no answer.

    Just for the challenge add this to the question: ...and what was the running guy's name.

  • Any reason for downvote?

  • Is it relevant for the question to have a New Zealand tag (the geo-location of the photo) while the OP didn't know the geo-location at all when they asked?

  • @SnackExchange I suggest to leave this question as is, as it was bad when it has been asked, and closed for 6 years. Even though I didn't know the exact location, I think this question can be useful for a person who searches something about New Zealand and beautiful places there

  • These are indeed archway islands on Wharariki Beach, West Coast New Zealand, and they are as amazing as you see them here, we live about 2hrs drive from there and visit quite regularly, the right side of the front island has a seal colony, and in the spring you can see the seal pups!
