Photo: Clouds Sunset Cape Egmont New Zealand

As the sunset tries to break through the clouds above the beach at Cape Egmont in New Zealand, an array of hues become visible.

From the beach at Cape Egmont, Taranaki on the North Island of New Zealand, a mass of clouds fills the sky just as the sunset begins to explode. In the foreground, the black clouds are too thick for the sun to break through but the billowy white clouds become tinted with shades of blues, pinks and yellows.

From the edges of the white clouds, rays of light extend outwards from the clouds as the sun becomes blocked out. It is fascinating how the sun has so much natural power and can turn a gloomy looking sunset into a magical display of hues.

Whether the white clouds will win the battle of what lays ahead for the people at the beach for the next day around Cape Egmont is yet to be seen. If the black clouds take over, the storm that is brewing could pass overnight or it could hold over until morning making for a miserable day around Taranaki, New Zealand.While visiting Cape Egmont on the North Island of New Zealand, spend some time at the beach during sunset and watch the incredible show that can take place in the New Zealand sky. ... continue below the picture...
