It is not unusual for quite dense coastal cloud banks to form on the West Coast each summer afternoon. As the sun sets far from the coast, beyond that cloud barrier, its final rays bounce up and down under the dense layer, giving an eerie yellow-orange glow to everything. Here it highlights the rimu trees of Bruce Bay, South Westland.
