Archway Islands Reflection, Wharariki Beach, Golden Bay, New Zealand

A 30-minute drive followed by a 30-minute walk brought me there 30 minutes before sunrise, allowing me to experience a VERY rare windless morning on this West Coast beach.

With the beach to myself, the only company being a waking seal from one of the caves, I could stroll leisurely up and down the shore, waiting for the light to work its magic. The bonus was the near-perfect reflection on the water.
