Napier Sunrise - East Coast NZ
 
 
 
I shot this sunrise during my May 2001 trip to New Zealand. We stayed in Napier, a beautiful little town on the east coast of the north island for a couple of days. Napier is a very interesting town, having been destroyed by a major earthquake in the 1920's. The town was rebuilt with some fabulous art deco period architecture. I got up early to shoot architectural shots in the glow of the morning "golden" hour. As I was waiting I walked out on the beach to catch the sunrise and got this cool shot of the high cloud formations lit by the rising sun. (BTW, I also got some great architectural shots that I'll post here someday.)
