Captured at Haast Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, this photograph frames the rugged mountain peaks beneath a dramatic sunset sky. A fiery band of golden light cuts through the clouds, casting a warm glow against the cool tones of the snow-dusted ranges. The contrast between shadowed valleys and illuminated ridges evokes both power and serenity, capturing the fleeting beauty of twilight in one of New Zealand’s most dramatic alpine landscapes.
