Mount Taranaki: Winter Sunrise

I started to shoot around this tarn from 3:30am on 4 July. I witnessed

the dramatic change of the sky during the following 5 hours - from the

amazing moonlight starry sky to this graceful sunrise.

Mount Taranaki is one of the most beautiful and featured mountains I

have ever seen so far. Another nice thing to visit this mountain is

that there are many possible ways to explore this corn-shaped mountain

from different directions and different means. Someday in a near

future I will climb to the summit of this mountain.

Thanks for viewing this image.

Stunningly beautiful.  It was well worth your early morning start... Mike

wonderful picture!

Amazingly beautiful and from your description, a truly humbling experience to witness I would imagine.  It's so beautiful how the reflections in the lake make the shape of a heart.  Fabulous work that truly leaves me quite speechless. Best of luck when you do the 'climb'. Kind regards, Gail

As usual, a perfect picture. Congratulations.

i hope you get a rush from waking up and taking these images...they are breathtaking...regards....David
