What a Wonderful World

Taken after sunrise from Murrays Bay, Wednesday, December 13, 2006 @ 06.20am.


I woke early today and decided to go shoot the sunrise! It was quite cloudy and I didn’t see the actual sunrise because of the clouds over Rangitoto Island. This is about 25 minutes after sunrise at Murrays Bay this morning.

This is where I live at Murrays Bay Beach, situated on the North Shore of Auckland. The water is the Hauraki Gulf, and the sun is rising from behind Rangitoto Island.

In Maori, Hauraki means "wind from the north", which is our warm wind.

Rangitoto is a Maori name, "rangi" meaning sky, and "toto" meaning red, or blood.

Rangitoto literally means “blood red sky”. However, the name is traditionally linked with a fight between Tamatekapua and Hoturoa, Maori Chiefs and commanders of the Arawa and Tainui canoes. Tamatekapua was injured, hence the name Te Rangi i totongia a Tamatekapua – The day the blood of Tamatekapua was shed.

Rangototo’s eruption about 600 years ago, was witnessed by Maori inhabitants on Motutapu, the island you can see on the left of the sun. Motutapu in Maori means Sacred Island.

Hi Janice,
A lovely scene, well captured. I remember Rangitoto Island well from my visit. My Auckland friend Mike had a photo of the island on his wall at home. He took a shot of his pregnant wife Liz, lying on a wall with the island in the background, and entitled the photo 'not extinct!' TFS,
John

Delightful sunrise shot. Good colour, well composed, lovely reflections and silhouettes. The little bird gives the picture the dot on the i.

I janice,
This is a very beautiful scene. I like how the walkway is aligned and leading us to the sun, and this bird balancing the scene. It's so peaceful and quiet with superb colors. Very well done.

Janice, you got that bird to fly past just at the right time didnt you..

Lovely photo, well done to you..nice mornng sky.

Good interesting notes too Janice.

Cheers Dawn.

A wonderful picture indeed! Great use of rule of thirds to compose the picture (good timing with the seagull) and superb colours. POV you've used to use the walkway to lead the eye to the sun is sublime! Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing

Janice,
AHHHHH---- Can I come for a visit? Beautiful scene--- A++ on the photo. TFS Julie

Simply delightful Janice. I have yet to find a decent spot close by where I can capture a decent sunrise, surrounded by mountains and no water alas. Lovely colour, well composed and the solitary gull adds so much. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ' Tasmanian Summertime’. 500,000 hectares gone in Victoria now.

Hi Janice,

This is a beautiful Sunrise which you captured here! Vivid colours and using the tree to frame the photo was a great idea. Not to mention the bird flying too!

Well seen & composed
Constantinos

Its when we look at photos like these we realise that nature is so beautiful. Really well captured Janice. That bird is a good addition. Perfect lights and nice angle of capture. Well Done.

What a shot Janice...

So beautiful morning, peaceful and refreshing. Excellent composition and reflection. You captured really well my dear, thanks for the beautiful morning,

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Janioce,
WAW, that the beautiful, really wonderful, landscape you was able to capture here! I like your composition with a pier, mountains on the background, branch of the tree framed this picture, a bird flying over the water, and, of course, such the inpressive sky with clouds at sunset. Very good shot, Bravo!
With BEST Regards,
Arthur

Hi Janice,

Excellent sunrise capture! The lovely colors, along with the very special lighting at that time of day, give a great image. You have done a great composition, including the rails of the little pier in the fg.
Well done!
Vassilis

Beautiful colours, clear and sharp.
Great and peaceful early morning picture
Well balance
