The Rock at Dawn

"The Rock at Dawn" is a testament to strength and endurance, a symbol of unwavering resilience against the relentless forces of nature. As I captured this image, the first light of day was just beginning to creep over the horizon, illuminating the massive, jagged rock standing firm against the crashing waves. Even as the tide surged and retreated, the rock remained unshaken—a quiet reflection of divine strength and steadfastness. What made this moment even more profound was the sky above. Though dawn had begun to break, the faint glow of distant stars still lingered, a final remnant of the night’s canopy. This merging of night and day, of starlight and sunrise, added a timeless, almost celestial atmosphere to the scene. In framing this shot, I wanted to convey the duality of power and peace—the mighty, immovable rock standing tall amid the chaos of the sea, yet bathed in the soft, golden light of a new day. For me, it’s a reminder of the strength that comes from standing firm in faith, even when the waves crash hardest around you.
