Taken from Westhaven, with the marine vessels berthed at Westhaven Marina in the foreground, and the Auckland Central Business District skyline in the background.

From Wikipedia:

"Auckland is popularly known as the 'City of Sails' because the harbour is often dotted with hundreds of yachts and has more per capita than any other city in the world, with around 135,000 yachts and launches estimated. Around 60,500 of the country's 149,900 registered yachtsmen also come from the Auckland Region. Viaduct Basin also hosted two America's Cup challenges (2000 Cup and 2003 Cup), and its cafes, restaurants, and clubs add to Auckland's vibrant nightlife. With the sheltered Waitemata Harbour at its doorstep, Auckland sees many nautical events, and there are also a large number of sailing clubs in Auckland, as well as Westhaven Marina, the largest of the Southern Hemisphere."

The sky's colour may seem to be somewhat fake (thanks to poor PS work on my part), but it is possible to see skies of such intense "blueness" in New Zealand, especially during the morning. The image has also been cropped from its original 2:3 format to take out some unnecessary foreground. Slight colour and contrast work done on the foreground.

The seagull on the top right hand corner is real - it is part of the original photo.
