It was an overcast, rainy day on Milford Sound. Then there was a small break in the clouds and these amazing rays of sunlight shone through.
Milford Sound (Piopiotahi in Māori) is a fjord in the south west of New Zealand’s South Island, within Fiordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site.
Canon 400D.
