Took this shot on my last day hiking the Te Araroa trail in New Zealand. Sunrise. The colors lasted maybe 5 minutes. I think it was the best picture of my whole trip.

Photography Tips

Probably a good spot for sunsets over Stewart Island to the west too. Also good vantage point for shooting the whole peninsula.
