As the first rays of sunlight pierce through the morning mist over Lyttelton, the rugged beauty of the Port Hills is illuminated in a soft golden glow. The golden grasses sway gently in the light, their warmth contrasting with the cool, textured lichen-covered rocks in the foreground. The silhouette of the hills creates a dramatic backdrop, framing the radiant burst of sunlight breaking across the horizon.

Photographed in the stillness of dawn, this image captures the quiet power and beauty of a Lyttelton sunrise. Shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, the composition highlights the delicate balance between light, texture, and shadow.
