This Cathedral Cove is located in Hahei coast, about 2 hours drive from Auckland towards south east direction. Arriving in this place before 4.30am, I looked into the beautiful sky through this magic arch.

It was also a super test of my patience to make this incredible image during the two hours of witnessing such a magic moment.
