That explains the cold then...

So...it's been a touch fresh lately, and this would be the reason why. Mount Taranaki (or Mount Egmont if you prefer) finally deigned to show it's face today, complete with a fresh a coat of snow. No wonder I've been wearing socks.
beautiful shot!!!! love it. fav.

love that mountain - socks - well that put an image in my head that made me laugh - don't ask hahahahaha
July 4th, 2014  
How do you cope having to look at that on a daily basis......it must be a struggle. Well captured.
July 4th, 2014  
Easy on the eyes.
July 4th, 2014  
This is only brilliant - try harder next time please!
July 4th, 2014  
Wow , look at that snow capped mountain, just love the blue tones and those great looking clouds. What is the white building, a church maybe ???.Fab image, fav :-)

July 4th, 2014  
Super crisp. Well done.
July 4th, 2014  
And a few more things too, I hope! Lovely shot Graeme, but it sure looks b----y cold.
July 4th, 2014  
Beautiful but cold. I am not surprised. There was snow on Mount Tarawera too.
July 4th, 2014  
Wow! Whata strikingly beautiful scene!

@shaunasauna7 Thanks very much, and for the follow, much appreciated :)
@annied Best to avoid asking I think! Thanks very much too.
@spanner It's horrible isn't it? I generally try not to look at it at all, it just makes me nauseous.
@habit Thanks very much
@vignouse A thousand apologies. I bow my head in shame.
@hermann Thanks _ I believe it used to be a church but is now a privately owned function centre (@kimkyra will know I think)
@kimkyra Thank you wife type lady person. I ate all the chocolate and am now fat :(
@bigugly Thanks very much
@golftragic Definitely a few things more! Thanks very much.
@deliad Thanks - I think it's almost everywhere now, especially after the last few days!
@mzzhope Thanks very much :)

What a view!! Do you refer to it as the 'mountain is out.' It may be cold, but it is certainly stunning.
July 4th, 2014  
Stunning shot! Colors, foreground, background, light, it is all pretty fantastic.
July 4th, 2014  
she's a beauty, or wait, Taranaki is a male mountain right? we have snow on the hills behind us too, , i wear two pairs of socks, even to bed
July 4th, 2014  
@taffy Thanks very much - usually "the mountain is out" or "there he is"
@ukandie1 Thanks you very much, appreciated :)
@kali66 Thanks - Taranaki is a he, sent over here after a lovers tiff between Ruapehu and Ngaruhoe, he travelled south and made the Wangaui River on the way, then travelled up the coast to where he is now. Apparently one day he may go back, but if it does I don't plan on being anywhere near it!
July 4th, 2014  
Beautiful shot! The white building in front really adds a lot of drama and pop! Well done! Fav!
July 4th, 2014  
a very snow capped mountain.
July 4th, 2014  
@eyeamlisa Thanks very much, appreciated ;)
@blueberry1222 It certainly is - there will be more yet too!
July 4th, 2014  
Brilliant shot! I think I can feel the chill form here :)
July 4th, 2014  
Looks beautiful. Love that blue sky too
July 4th, 2014

July 4th, 2014  
Instant fav. Gorgeous colours.

Sam
Only socks? Is that it? Actually from your other scary photo the other day where you were covering your comestibles, I'm sure you only wear socks!!
July 4th, 2014  
Geez what a terrible sight.... We're heading to the South Island in 3 weeks, can't wait. But I'm sure it's gonna be bloody cold
July 4th, 2014  
That is a hell of a view! Skiing shots soon?
July 4th, 2014  
cold maybe but makes a great shot
July 4th, 2014  
Fabulous picturesque image - where is the right Graeme and what have you done with him?!?!?!?! ;)
July 4th, 2014  
@gigiflower Yes, I often venture into public in just socks...they love it round here.
@longexposure It'll be freezing down there, but amazing scenery, unlike this.
@roseolivia It's awful isn't it? As for skiing shots...not likely. Me skiing would be a bit like expecting a cat to swim underwater
@wearing0 thanks very much indeed
@lynnilou Thank you. We don't know where he is at the moment, but we have a week off work so who knows where he could be.
July 4th, 2014
