This epic scene was found on the exposed west coast of New Zealand's South Island. The remains of a fallen tree had come to rest in the sand. I camped nearby the night before, arriving in darkness - a 20 minute drive down a gravel track. I had no idea what the place was like but decided to check out the beach before dawn and found this place.

This dramatic scene was presented to me after waking up camped next to this remote beach on the exposed west coast of New Zealand's South Island.
