Sunset in Kaikoura

Sunset in Kaikoura captures a serene view from the rocks at Jimmy Armers Bay, looking back across the water toward Fyfe Quay and the Southern Alps, dusted with a sprinkling of snow. The scene is bathed in a soft purple glow, with the last light of the sun just dipping below the mountains. The composition emphasises the textures of the rocks in the foreground and the gentle, atmospheric colours of the evening sky.

Kaikoura, on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, is famous for its dramatic coastal landscapes, marine life, and mountain backdrop. Jimmy Armers Bay provides a tranquil vantage point to capture both the rugged coastline and distant alpine scenery, making it a popular location for photographers seeking unique sunset compositions.
