A different take on this mountain of NZ while flying above it. It's Mt Egmont or used to be called that. Why do they change names?
Three good things:
1. Smooth flight with great visibility of NZ as we flew over the top of it.
2. Wonderful birthday wishes from everyone!
3. Am older and wiser - I think?
Ooh an amazing shot maggiemae.....what a tremendous veiw ...is it called another name now? Strange yellows cloud .....must be that bad boy that lives beside that mountain! You know who I mean!
I am glad that you had a safe an comfortable flight. interesting processing. In the US they are always changing names. Mostly sports stadiums and arenas if someone comes up with the money to have it named after them. Even countries are known for changing their names. As far a mountains, one in Alaska was and sometimes still called called Denali by the Koyukon Athabaskan people for, "The High One". When the Russians owned it it was called, "Bolshaya Gora" for, "great Mountain". But was later name Mt. McKinley for presidential candidate William McKinley who was elected president. I guess it happens everywhere.
This is an amazing shot. The mountain stands out so clearly above the clouds. I love flights where you get a window seat and can see the world below yoy
@maggiemae I'm a cheapskate when it comes to shorter flights as I refuse to pay extra to choose a seat! The result is the middle or not sitting besides my husband ! Airlines do annoy me at times - necessary evils
I really do like the treatment you have given this aerial view of the naki and its iconic mountain. It looks and feels very Japanese and is so beautiful. Fav.
wonderful shot. Fav
