Evening light by maggiemae

Evening light

Looking down one of the streets in Akaroa which is away out on its own on Banks Peninsula in the South Island, the evening sun outlined the hills on the other side of the great Akaroa Harbour. I made John screech to a halt and ran back up the road to get this light before it changed!
Love the lighting in this photo!

I really like the POV, processing, and especially the 'feel' of this beautiful photo. Your country must be one of the most beautiful on earth. This makes me yearn to visit there-though I could do without that endless plane ride! Congratulations on this. You certainly took advantage of the evening light! A fav for me.
