Odd little cloud
Odd clouds are something of a speciality around here
But mostly clouds are seen from the inside out
Very moody, somehow right
Less common kind of grey day
Usually the airs clearer after rain
The residue of the ubiquitous 1500m cloud layer, clear above clear below
Spectacular when the sun sets above it
Off for a walk in the rain (2006-10-30)
Mineral stream
Water moveth the mountain
Gorge with mountain cabbage trees
They have a very stately presence
Ahem, plan view
Welcome to Lake Dave hut
You could be be here for quite some time
Six inches of rain in 24 hours, yikes
Something the volcano spat out, catching some rays
Pecans
Its all pretty reproductive around here just now
Photogenic muscovy
More odd clouds
Still air does strange things
Taranaki from central plateau (2006-11-6)
Off to catch the last of the Tongarairo snow
An alternative Tongarairo crossing
Fantastic travel on west ridge, overlooking the dreaded cattle route
Ngaurahoe: the snow is retreating fast now
Climbing Mt Tongarairo
Ho, a fellow mountaineer
Fantastic wide open spaces
South crater, left
South crater right
Summit
The scenic route to north crater
Almost done with the crampons, but first we have to get over this
To get to north crater
Home for the night is just below
Misty and mighty mighty magical
Next day dropping out of the cloud into central crater: lots of meltwater about, and tourists
Ice bergs and swans
Beautiful Emerald lake
Been there got the, grimace, photo
South crater: a commonly misconceived environment
South crater vegetation
Dropping back out of the cloud and wind chill
Gladly, there is nobody about
