Rising Up

The famed water-bound willows of Glenorchy, New Zealand, rise from Lake Wakatipu on the country’s South Island. Your Shot member Paul Reiffer, who photographed the scene at sunrise, calls winter “a special time in New Zealand.”

Reiffer’s image was recently featured in Your Shot’s Daily Dozen.
