Kaikoura Sunrise

Kaikoura Sunrise is photographed from Paparoa Point, looking across the rocky shoreline as the sky lights up in warm orange tones just before the sun appears over the horizon. The composition captures the texture of the rocks in the foreground and the gradual build of light in the sky, creating a striking coastal scene.

Paparoa Point, on New Zealand’s South Island east coast, offers dramatic coastal landscapes and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Its rugged rocks and clear sightlines to the horizon make it a popular location for early-morning photography.
