The First Sunset of 2016_DSC9385

What a glorious end to the first day of the year.
We spent New Year's Eve and most of New Year's Day, relaxing with my sister in law, Bronwyn and her husband Brian. It was still too hot to go for a walk when we got home around 4pm. I'm glad we walked later, because the sunset was amazing. It was a beautiful still evening and lots of people were out making the most of it.
I hope that you all have a wonderful 2016 :)

@gijsje Thanks Bep. It was lovely down at the beach. There was a slight easterly breeze blowing, instead of our usually strong sea breeze, so it was quite still.

@chrysanthemum hanks Christina, I was so pleased that I stayed longer than I had planned, because the colours kept getting more vibrant :)
