Benjamin Wiesner, Morning Melancholy (LANDSCAPE 2023)

Captured this etheral sunrise in New Zealand on our last morning in the beautiful Waikato region, NZ. While walking through the green hills I pulled my jacket tighter and felt a melancholy from having to leave this place that this image perfectly captures. It is one of those photos I took at the beginning of my photography journey without thinking much of it at the time, and it will forever remind me of this beautiful country and my passion for this artform.
