Magnificent Sunset at Lake Eucumbene - 25 January 2010.
Lake Eucumbene is one of
Australia's best trout fishing spots. I went to the lake for a couple of
days fishing in January 2010 and, while the fish weren't biting, the
lake put on a magnificent sunset on January 25, 2010.
See all the sunset photos here.
