Sunrise over the gulf, with Rangitoto keeping its usual low profile on the horizon and a tree-topped rock in the foreground doing the work of a lighthouse. A long exposure to settle the water and let the cloud streak; the boulders in the foreground were wet enough to take the colour of the sky. Three or four boats at anchor, and nobody up yet.
