Now I know there have been previous photo challenges on sunsets, but I also believe it is a universal truth that we cannot resist reaching for our cameras as the sun puts on its goodnight performance. You’ve probably got a myriad of dazzling sunset shots just waiting to be put online, so if you would like to join in this week’s travel theme, create your own post titled Travel theme: Sunset and don’t forget to put a link to this page in your post to make it easy for others to find it. Don’t forget to check back in next Friday for a new travel theme.

Today is the shortest day of the year with the solstice at 11:09 am. Auckland will have just 9 hours and 38 minutes of daylight today. Wellington will 9 hours and 11 minutes of daylight. Christchurch will have 8 hours and 56 minutes. Invercargill will have just 8 hours 35 minutes.
Of course this also means that the days start getting longer again as of tomorrow.
