Snapshot – somewhere between Auckland and Sydney

This March I had the pleasure of being upgraded to first class in return for Quantas rerouting us via Auckland. It didn’t take much for the airline to ‘convince’ us to accept the terrible hardship of flying via New Zealand in exchange for a full flat bed on the way from LA to Sydney. We were at Auckland airport for a couple of hours and I was snapping away during the sunrise, the light in the southern hemisphere is so different. This shot came form the plane. Something about the way the light came through the aircraft’s window, the time of day and the angle of the sun created these beautiful hues.
