Waking up

Photo of the sunrise behind the Sky Tower in Auckland, as seen while walking down a hill.

To walk down a hill
waking up to the sunrise
what a privilege

Springing

Photo of the pre sunrise glow at Takapuna Beach in Auckland.

Springing out in joy
the sun brings out the fireworks
chilly winter fades

Raindrops

Raindrops on windows
white spots on a green canvas
roadtrip to country.

Pray

Ghostly trees raise arms
engulfed in the winter mist
pray to the heavens.

Look!

View to remember
dense fog over the mountains
