Thames Harbour Sunset

Thames Harbour captures a long exposure sunset over the Firth of Thames, viewed from Thames, New Zealand. The pale, ethereal tones of the image highlight the calm waters and distant hills, while a silhouetted structure, likely a wooden beacon tower, stands in the channel, adding a point of interest and sense of scale. The soft, serene atmosphere emphasizes the peaceful coastal environment at golden hour.

The Firth of Thames, located on the western side of the Coromandel Peninsula, has long been an important site for both Māori and European settlement, with its rich estuarine ecosystem and scenic landscapes. Today, Thames Harbour offers panoramic views and recreational opportunities, making it a favoured location for photographers capturing the interplay of water, light, and heritage structures.
