New Zealand is famed for its natural beauty and, with sunsets like this one, it's difficult to argue.
This picture was taken just as the sun was going down over Marlborough Sounds. The Interislander ferry between North and South Island provides excellent views of the Sounds which make up a substantial portion of the journey between Wellington and Picton.
