Storm Light Over Hokianga — Koutu Point and the Pakanae Hills, Northland, New Zealand

A dramatic monochrome study of Hokianga Harbour at low tide, looking across the tidal flats of Koutu Point toward the Pakanae Hills under a brooding storm sky. Scattered mangroves punctuate the exposed sand channels as towering cumulus build overhead, their bases dark with intent while light breaks through behind them. The stillness of the harbour surface contrasts with the turbulence above — a landscape caught between weather systems, rendered in silver and shadow. Northland, New Zealand.
