Into the Rising Sun

This is the last in this series of dawn images from 5 January.  As the sun rises above the horizon the number of people on Takapuna Beach increases.  Even in the middle of the night you will find someone out walking, as well as the occasional “wally” shouting loudly as a result of late-night drinking. However, in the cool of a dawn morning only the keen early birds can be found soaking up the freshness of the newly breaking day.
