I am not exactly sure how it begins… but chasing sunset seems to have become a habit that I cannot break. Those who know me well, especially my partner at work, are used to my abrupt departure for the sole purpose of catching the last glimpse of the beautiful sun before the day ends.
It is no different when I am travelling.
Knowing of my penchant for chasing sunsets, the BFF brought me to a nice sunset spot – the Hamilton Lake, which is also known as Lake Rotoroa (Long Lake). With a surface area of about 54 hectares, it is by far bigger than the Jurong Lake in Singapore (whereby I admired countless beautiful sunsets at what I called my home’s backyard!).
There’s a park and playground near the lake where ducks are littered everywhere! Yes, littered. These are pragmatic ducks who are tame enough to come near humans, hoping to get a treat. Of course, if you do not have any treats for them, you will soon find yourself to be forgotten.
As the sun slowly slips into its secret hiding place, the sky was painted a lovely hue of pink and purple.
