Woodend Beach sunrise

30 September 2025

Sunrays firing into the sky over Woodend Beach as the sun climbs above the horizon, beckoning a new day. Reflections shimmer in the tide pools.

Contributors note: "Hello, my name is Sienna, I live in Rangiora, New Zealand.!I recently turned 16, mum and I (don’t forget the dog to) headed to Woodend Beach to watch the morning sunrise. At around 7am I captured this beautiful photo! The smell of the ocean, wind in our hair, the waves crashing on the shoreline. Was just so peaceful and soothing! My nana had passed away, just days before I turned 16. She was my bestfriend! Although she isint here physically, she is still in our hearts.! We sore many signs from nana that morning, we are grateful! There is beauty everywhere, you just have to find it"
