yanzhang 1 Posted July 15, 2015 Mount Taranaki, also called Mount Egmont, is an active but quietscentvolcano located in Taranaki region in the west coast of the NorthIsland, New Zealand. The 2518-metre-high mountain is one of the mostsymmetrical volcanic cones in the world. In early July 2015, I undertook a backpacking trip to this mountain. Itrekked to two specific mountain huts: Maketawa Hut and Pouakai Hut,and witnessed one of the most dramatic weather phenomenons I have evermet during my stay in the mountain. After a severe storm for 20 hours, the mountain returned to itscalmness. I came to this location before 4:00am on 4 July 2015. Thestarry sky was impressive over the summit of Mount Taranaki. This isone single shot capturing such amazing mountain and sky and theirreflections in the tarn. Thanks for viewing this image. Link to comment

confindelmundo 0 Posted July 16, 2015 Have been there many years ago, when I was not yet a professional photographer. Would like to return to New Zealand to photograph its marvelous nature. Very nice place and phenomenal volcano. Nice shot Yan. Link to comment
