Taranaki Landscapes
Taranaki is a place of wide open spaces which just seems to lend itself to wide format imagery. What follows is not a lot of chit chat, just a visual celebration of country life.
Fishing village, Mokau coast
On the way to the mountains
...and countryside
Pouakai tops, between snow (2006-08-14)
Taranaki from the north on a rare clear day
Curvature of the Taranaki coastline
Top of the translator road after a snowstorm
Pouakai tops post snow
View from Pouakai tops
Tarn, frozen solid
Sunset on the mountain
Sunrise on the mountain
Looking east at dawn
Not long after dawn
Ever changing light
Volcanic plateau in the distance
Another clear dawn
Ideallic rural abode
The Ovis neighbours
Jet trail country
Blustery New Plymouth foreshore
More like a gale
Seagull and a sculture that tells the weather
Dusk full moon
Light made for photography
The ever present cloud blanket
Getting up high
Climbing Fathoms peak (2006-09-15)
Rime encrusted landscape
Summit cap
Ice dunes
Above the clouds
Syme hut, buried
View from the door
Sunset paradise
More like a snow cave
Mind blowing subtlety of colour
Prickly rime
End of day shadows
A bed of fluff
The last of the light, and weather
36hrs of wind blasted sleet
Cool
Crisp air after southerly blow, good day for a go at the summit (2006-10-07)
Ice plastered telecomunications tower
Porch pole, Tahurangi lodge
Start of north summit route
Nice crispy 8am ascent
The whole mountain is ice plastered
Fairly steep near the top
Shards of glass hard fallen ice litter the crater
Sharks fin, second summit
Wanganui coast
Sastrugi everywhere
Main summit cap, very cold wind blowing
Two summits
North entrance to crater
Back down to earth, North Egmont
North slopes of Taranaki
