Lower Hutt

Had a single day off from work, decided I could make it work to catch a ferry, bike into this lighthouse, and then set up an alarm to wake up at midnight to point the camera towards the sky and hope for the best. The city lights added a purple tint to things and I decided to roll with it, dog tired when I rolled into work, but thank god for the espresso machine.
