Dawn breaks over the Punakaiki Coast, where dramatic rock formations rise from the Tasman Sea and layers of mist soften the wild West Coast landscape. The warm glow of early light contrasts with the cool blues of the ocean, creating a scene that's both powerful and peaceful.

This sweeping coastal vista captures the raw beauty of Punakaiki — rugged sea stacks, rolling surf, and the ever-present mist that gives the West Coast its moody, mystical character. The subtle gradient from golden sunrise to soft blue creates a calming yet dynamic presence.

The expansive panoramic format makes this print ideal for wide feature walls, above king beds, or in living spaces where you want to create a sense of openness and horizon. Its cinematic proportions draw the eye across the scene, bringing the drama of the coast into your space.

A perfect gift for coastal lovers, West Coast wanderers, or anyone who's stood on these wild shores watching the day begin. This photograph captures the untamed spirit of Punakaiki at its most serene.

This photograph from my West Coast Open Edition images comes in a 3:1 aspect with three different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection.

Acrylic Print

Perfect for any room where gallery quality is optimal, our Acrylic Prints are also ideal for bathrooms and wet areas.

Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional substrate using archival inks, and then mounted in-house on crystal clear acrylic for a back-lit appearance and unrivaled vibrancy.

Finally, it will be seamed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) for a modern frameless finish. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.
