Great spot Taranaki, if only the sun would shine! Had one day of sunshine thus far. Oh well, that's the land of the long white coffee for you...

Love the last one Max! All are great but the first one is the standout for me. The combination of the mountain shape and the trees is strangely reminiscent of Mt Kilimanjaro, only smaller. I suppose you get that with volcanoes, wherever they may be. :)

Yes Simon, I thought the same thing myself. I actually had thought about cloning in an elephant and seeing what the reaction was. :D

I don't think the elephant would have reacted well....

If you had said the first was an african landscape I would have believed you. Great set, i really like what you have done with the wheat in #2, but #3 looks a bit over saturated, with the colours becoming too vivid to be believable.

Great stuff all the same.

:agree: The water in #3 is the real giveaway for me, too blue for a river in NZ.

True indeed Cameron. #3 was processed in lab colour & is way oversaturated. I will redo it one of these days.

Mt Egmont has many moods. We're waiting for the weather to break so we can drive around it before we leave Taranaki on Sunday.
