[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
~ Winter Vista ~

A few years ago I spent a long weekend on the central plateau of the North Island during winter season. I was fortunate in that the weather was sunny and the air quality clean and crisp.

I took this photo from high up Mount Ruapehu volcano. In the distance you can see another of New Zealand’s dormant volcanos, Mount Egmont (syn. Mount Taranaki).

Mount Ruapehu volcano stands almost 2800 metres high and is the highest mountain in New Zealand North Island. It is well known as a popular skiing venue but on a more cautious note it is also the most recent of the North Island volcanoes to have erupted, having erupted in 1945 and as recently as 1995. Flying over this large volcano you can see the impressive blue water in the crater lake.

Mount Egmont last erupted about 200 years ago and is considered by Geologists to have had a history of intermittent eruptions covering 130,000 years. Though not at regular intervals, eruptions from this cone-shaped volcano are thought to occur approximately every 350 years.

Thanks for viewing and reading.

Hi Martyn,

An exceptional composition with a great mood in it! I like the white and blue tones in the picture with fresh snow lying on the roof top of the house and around it. The diagonal way of the keeping the snowy landscape was indeed a great idea. The mountains in the BG are just wonderful and the partial blue sky , they collectively bring splendid mood into the picture. Great composition!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Martyn,
Although this scene is way to early for us in the Northern Hemisphere, it is a beautiful shot. something to think about as one boils in a +30C humid August.

Well this is indeed a beautiful vista Martyn, but I don't really want to think about snow yet :)
Very nice composition here .. I particularily like the depth, and the view of the mountains in the far far distance. Great shot.
