Serenity.
 
 First light on the 31st of January 2007. Comet McNaught floats above the lagoon at Clive, Hawke's Bay. The scene was so peaceful, only being disturbed by the occasional splash of fish jumping in the mirror-like waters. The lights in the distance are the townships of Clive, Haumoana, Te Awanga and Clifton. The faint 'smudge' at upper right is the SMC. Photo details: Canon 350D, 46 second exposure with a Sigma 18-125mm lens, ISO 800 @ f-3.5.
