The first time I stopped at Hawkes Lookout, Takaka Hill was during sunset moment and I have shared photos in the past and promised to share photos of another view which was from my return travel from Takaka and the time it was just before noon.
When I find a beautiful short walking spots during my drive, I never get enough of it in New Zealand 🇳🇿, so stopped again during my drive back to Christchurch for these views.
I like to experience different landscape views of the same spot in NZ since the weather is frequently changing. Though comparing these photos with the sunset ones, I like the sunset ones more.
