Sunset Beach

one of the sets of stairs to this beach - the only way to get here. They're so steep I almost had a heart attack climbing back up!

Taken at a small, somewhat-deserted beach on Auckland's North Shore.

No, not HDR, but I did play around in Lightroom to enhance the details in the clouds (they were blown out due to the 1 second exposure I used).
