Day 111. I had a morning stroll down Takapuna beach as the sun rises. According to a landscape photographer friend of mine, watching the sun rises and catching its first light makes a person energetic and happy the rest of the morning. I don't know if there are any scientific studies to back that up but I do believe him.

Can you believe we've had some fresh November snow dust the peaks last night? Winter doesn't quite want to leave just yet!
