Another Sunset at Taupo

Last night I decided to drive to Wharewaka Point as the previous night there had been some lovely big waves. Unfortunately it was much calmer, but I still got a few photos I was happy with. HOWEVER, I did not realise that there was a gate that was closed at 8:00 PM. I had to ring for someone to let me out!! A very nice security man rescued me and didn't even charge me for doing so!

Beautiful image. Glad you 'got out'. I remember getting stuck in a park once, somewhere in England, with our daughter, and we had to climb the fence to get out!

Foreground interest and a golden leading line to the setting sun - what's not to like?

[Margaret Brown]

Love the light and your pov.

Fab shot - love the long exposure of the water on the rocks

[Pat Knowles]

Oh you must have been glad of your mobile phone or you could have been there all night!
Worth the drive to get this beautiful silky water shot! Fave.

How magical the light on the water, Love it.

Beautifully captured! Glad you found a compassionate security man. You probably didn't look like a troublemaker! :)

@aecasey Exciting - thanks April. I hadn't heard anything so wasn't sure if this was happening. I guess that means I have to set you a challenge too - will give that some thought and let you know. Thanks so much.
