Craig Ford, Castlepoint Lighthouse Intense Sunrise (LANDSCAPE 2022)

An intense, fire-like sunrise punctuated by incredible lenticular cloud formations, fuelled by gale force winds, fill the sky with colour above the iconic Castlepoint Lighthouse. The rugged, almost fortress like, rock formations and surrounding sea cliffs reflect the first light of the new day creating an ethereal and otherworldly coastal scene. Wairarapa, North Island, New Zealand.
