Sunset over Lake Pukaki with Mt Cook in the centre distance. This seemed like a good enough spot to stop on our way home from Tekapo and enjoy a thermos of coffee. The timing was by chance but others had gathered in the same place - most of them with cameras. I am not very clever with difficult light situations and this is not the best of photos but perhaps conveys the atmosphere.

Your image and the above quoted part of your narrative don't match Lyn, LOL!

Not that humble, because your sunset image is a splendid one!

Regards, Cornelius.

Mystical and beautiful, LE.

As Uncle Earl used to say: "You done good!"

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The colors and the composition are both great. Lighting is wonderful. Like Tick's Uncle Earl said, "You done good," Lyn .

The whole scene covered in that late evening glow makes the image look so serene and beautiful.

What a beauty you got here, Lyn. This is excellent, one of the best sunset photos I have ever seen. I just love it and I'm faving it. I wish we could see such amazing photos advance to the permanent gallery... I viewed it full screen - perfect in all ways! Ewa
