an evening outing to Brighton beach

A couple of weeks before Christmas, we decided to go for a walk at Brighton Beach one night after dinner. It stays light until 10 p.m. in December here, so there was plenty of daylight left. Brighton Beach is just southwest of Dunedin. My favorite route to get there involves going up over a big hill, and I love that route because the views are so lovely. One of the things I continue to enjoy about New Zealand is the textures and contours of the hills.
