Beautiful Dawn.
 
 Dawn approaches on the 31st of January 2007. The Pacific Ocean gently laps against the beach while Comet McNaught hangs gracefully in the sky above Cape Kidnappers, Hawke's Bay. This truly remarkable comet has been a gift to astronomers and lay-people alike, the world over. Photo details: Canon 350D, 25 second exposure with a Sigma 18-125mm lens, ISO 800 @ f-3.5.
