Pancake Dawn
The famous pancake rocks of Punakaiki, before sunrise, they are most impressive at high tide, and when I was there it was supposed to be only an hour after high tide, but sadly I did not get any wave bursts between the rocks, 15 years ago I had a rainbow, so I'm disappointed in these photos, but at least it was clear, you can see the snow caps of the southern Alps above the horizon.
I went back at daytime, but the shadows in winter rule the foreground, especially the shadow of the pedestrian guardrail, which I don't think was there last time, it ruins any photo opportunity, so it's Friday, a low view day on flickr anyway, good day to post this never go back there again.
