Mount Taranaki - A Starry Night

Another image from my recent trip to Mount Taranaki.

Here is some background information:

Mount Taranaki, also called Mount Egmont, is an active but quietscent

volcano located in Taranaki region in the west coast of the North

Island, New Zealand. The 2518-metre-high mountain is one of the most

symmetrical volcanic cones in the world. In early July 2015, I

undertook a backpacking trip to this mountain. I trekked to two

specific mountain huts: Maketawa Hut and Pouakai Hut, and witnessed

one of the most dramatic weather phenomenons I have ever met during my

stay in the mountain. After a severe storm for 20 hours, the mountain

returned to its calmness. I came to this location before 4:00am on 4

July 2015. The starry sky was impressive over the summit of Mount

Taranaki. This is one single shot capturing such amazing mountain and

sky and their reflections in the tarn.

Thanks for viewing this image.

Oh wow! Absolutely perfectly captured! I have nothing else to add. This is marvellous!!!

Cheers

Love the symmetry of this shot. Composition really works well, especially the reflection. Best wishes William.

Beautiful!  Wouldn't change a thing!

Fine scenery. 

...on all levels; composition, color, exposure, and detail.  Fantastic job.

Outstanding landscape, very good work!
