So in my last post I mentioned that when visiting my mother, I have sort of started a tradition of going out to Waihi Beach for a sunrise. I always park near the Flat White cafe which is obviously always closed that early in the morning but the stairs next to the cafe down to the beach are great to add in some of the shots. It is always fascinating to watch the progression of light as the day dawns and how the deep colours of the early morning fade into soft pastels. How can one not be filled with awe and wonder?
