Sun Sets Over the Waimakariri River: 2 May 2021

Waimakariri River flowing away from the Southern Alps, with the sun almost set on the horizon. The sky is dark blue at the top to yellow on the horizon.

Last night, the sunset was stunning. I captured this as we were driving to Pegasus, a town north of Christchurch. The river is the Waimakariri (Waimak for short), which flows from the Southern Alps mountain range into the Pacific Ocean.
