Dawn breaking over Woodend Beach

30 September 2025

Sun climbs over the sea at Woodend Beach, beckoning a new day.

Contributors note: "Hello, I am Sienna. I’m 16 years old and am from Rangiora, New Zealand! I recently turned 16. To celebrate this milestone, mum and I (don’t forget the dog) headed to Woodend Beach. I took this photo just after 7am! This photo is amazing, it really captures the moment! The horizon on the sea looked like it was a postcard! Amazing view, Woodend Becah does not dissapoint!"
