Our social media pages (click to see our Twitter and Facebook pages) have been busy this morning with photos of the glorious sunrise.

Calm and partly cloudy skies helped produce a stunning sunrise for many parts of the country today.

Most of the images came in from the Wellington region – but not all – in fact two of the three we have displayed are from Dunedin, including our favourite so far today from Tim Slade of Dunedin:
