Nice one. My Brinkley sunset wasn't much, although the wind was memorable.

incredible!
incredible! Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Radiata Plateau trig station bathing in the sun's last light.
One from my street.
A nice sunset from a strange path off Radiata Plateau which heads towards Medlow Bath and then stops dead.
A sneaky spot. 'The Carpark', anyone?
