Sam Goodwin, Path to the Light - Castlepoint (SEASCAPE 2025)

The journey begins in the quiet streets of Upper Hutt at 2:30 AM, chasing the promise of sunrise over one of New Zealand’s most iconic lighthouses, Castlepoint Arriving just before dawn, the final steps are taken along the weathered boardwalk, the salty breeze carrying the distant crash of waves. As the sky begins to glow, the first light breaks over the horizon, painting the landscape in warm golds and deep blues—a reminder that some views are worth the early start
