Taranaki

Taranaki from a distance. It's a stunning looking mountain!

Getting closer you can see the volcanic cone quite clearly.

There's a Japanese feel about this view with the almost symetrical trees.

The other side

On the far side, viewed from the west, you can see the subsidiary cone to the right.

Another view with flax flowers this time. I just couldn't help taking photos of Taranaki. It is SO beautiful and magical.

Evening approaching.

Can you tell I was mesmerised by this mountain?

Talk again soon.
