Wellington Harbour Sunset

from $195.00

As the sun dips behind the western hills, the Interislander ferry glides across Wellington Harbour like a slow-moving sculpture, its white hull catching the last golden light. The water shimmers in copper and slate, rippling gently as the ship carves a path toward Cook Strait. Hills on either side — Miramar to the east, the Hutt Valley beyond — soften into silhouette, while the sky above burns with streaks of amber and violet. Seagulls wheel overhead, their wings briefly illuminated, and the ferry’s wake stretches behind like a memory fading into dusk. It’s a moment of quiet grandeur — industrial grace meeting natural beauty in the heart of Wellington, New Zealand.

Available in A3, A2, and A1.

The Story Behind the Image

Timing like this can’t be staged.

The ferry company reached out to use the image for free… but some moments are worth more than that.
