Daily Photo – Silhouette’s of the Dunedin Coastline

It had been an unusually warm autumn day. That morning, as day broke, dark, heavy cloud cover hung over the city like a thick blanket. By lunchtime, however, it had lifted and dissolved leaving a bright, clear, sunlit afternoon that lingered well into the evening.

Sometime in the early evening, I decided to make use of what daylight was left and headed out for a walk along a nearby coastal track. I strode along Tomahawk beach from the base of Lawyers Head to the end of the beach, I climbed through the sand dunes, joined the footpath and a short time later was standing on the point looking out across the Pacific Ocean. I watched the sun drop below the horizon, leaving the faint but recognisable silhouettes of the Otago coastline far into the distance.
