I was camping above this beach in Abel Tasman National Park & had already settled into my sleeping bag, when the full moon’s luminance became so intense that it lit my tent like daylight! Moments later I was racing down the beach with my equipment to this remarkable rock stack. As the night deepened, the stars revealed their full brilliance, with the twin beacons Alpha Centauri & Beta Centauri (The Pointers) shining brightly in the night sky. Recording 20 second exposures over multiple images, I stitched four frames together across the horizon to retain maximum detail & clarity.

This print pays homage to Aotearoa’s Māori & European explorers who navigated vast oceans to reach these shores, guided only by the stars & their unwavering resolve. This sculpted sentinel stands with a spiritual presence, watching over this bay since the beginning of time. Harnessing nature’s elements culminated in this unique image, one that feels both ancient & enduring.
