Went down to the mighty maunga this weekend. The other one, not the one we went to last weekend. How lucky are we to have Ruapehu and Taranaki with striking distance from home. Sunrises and sunsets magnificent. #Aotearoa #Ruapehu #TeTōngaOTeRā #TeWhitingaOTeRā
Sunset over a landscape. Tussock, mānuka and hebe in the foreground. The sun is casting red rays over he landscape as it drops to the horizon. The sky glowing golden with wispy clouds. The light of the setting sun turning the tussock grass golden. It is also reflecting off the pockets of snow on the mountain known as Ruapehu. The peaks are glowing golden from the setting sun. The light of the rising sun is just touching the top of Ruapehu (mountain). The snow at the top is bright with the sunlight. In the foreground, native tree are also touched by the light. The sky is a light blue. The sky appears ro be on fire. The clouds are lit brightly by the setting sun.
