Undercliffe, Cooks River, sunset

A perfect mirror image of the sunset was produced on the Cooks River, between the suburbs south western suburb of Undercliffe and the inner west suburb of Marrickville. This view is from Undercliffe Bridge which carries Illawarra Road over the river. The change of sunset colours minutes later can be seen here.
