Burke Street Wharf

Burke St Wharf captures the remnants of the historic wharf on Burke Street in Thames, New Zealand. Using a long exposure at sunset, the photo shows the pilings and two wire sculptures, with the sea smoothed into a glassy texture, creating a serene and reflective scene.

The Burke Street Wharf was once a bustling part of Thames’ maritime history, serving as a hub for shipping and trade during the gold mining era. Today, only the wooden pilings remain, and the addition of wire sculptures pays homage to the area’s heritage, blending art with history in a striking coastal setting.
