Under Tolaga Bay Wharf

Under Tolaga Bay Wharf captures the historic wharf during golden hour, with a long exposure that gives the pilings a warm golden glow and the distant sea a striking turquoise hue. The sky remains soft blue with hints of pink, reflecting the subtle light of the East Coast sunset. The composition emphasizes the textures and structure of the pilings while creating a serene and timeless scene.

Tolaga Bay Wharf, stretching 660 meters in Tairāwhiti, Gisborne, New Zealand, is believed to be the longest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere. Originally built in the early 20th century to serve shipping and trade for the local community, it has become a significant historical landmark representing the maritime heritage of the region. Today, it is a popular spot for photography, walking, and enjoying the coastal scenery.
