At sunset in a clear sky tonight I could see 3 maunga (mountains) on the horizon: Ruapehu, Taranaki, Tapuae-o-Uenuku. I always forget how many bits of the South Island you can see from here at dawn and dusk. I left my good camera at home on purpose, so these are iPhone shots.

Looking south along the beach, with Kāpiti Island. Looking north along the beach.
