Sunrise Reflections

Rotorua, New Zealand

The earth breathes here. At sunrise over Rotorua's sulfur lakes, the sky catches fire. Pink and orange clouds sweeping across the blue, their reflection shimmering in the still, steaming water below. Geothermal mist rises as the first light arrives, turning this New Zealand landscape into something almost impossible to believe. Sunrise Reflections is a photograph of the planet at its most dramatic, most alive, and most humbling.
