te maunga o taranaki

Our mountain, Taranaki, with a bit of open plan living in the foreground.
I could wish for some high cloud today after yesterdays storm, but it was not to be...at it's best on black.
Beautiful. I love the open plan living ...

I assume somebody really got up your nose??? Rather a good image, old chap, what, what.
May 6th, 2020  
Very nice - lots of snow already.

@koalagardens No windows to clean...
@dide All delivered last night ;)
@golftragic Just the usual levels of irritation...
@jamibann Thank you very much :)

nice capture ...
May 6th, 2020  
Oh yeah, that's the ticket. a MUST on black.
May 6th, 2020  
Wow... that's quite the scene. A stunning background.
May 6th, 2020  
do people climb up the mountain?? Fabulous landscape could be in travel brochre- but I expect you want people to stay away?
May 6th, 2020  
Looking very majestic & so identifiable with that pointed shape. Lovely & I presume that is new snow this winter...it’s cold enough by now I would think. A very different open plan in the front....I have never seen that before! Fave.

Looks like someone planted a bottle in the ground

nice contrast to the mountains
May 6th, 2020  
Beautiful mountain. Is it snowy in summer, too?
May 6th, 2020  
The chimney seems to echo the layers and texture of the mountain behind. I don't remember seeing this scenery from where you live before. A most welcome view, as presented by your good self.

@graemestevens That's reassuring.
May 7th, 2020  
Dramatically beautiful
May 7th, 2020  
Beautifully lined up.. good to see it in clear sky's..

@julzmaioro Thanks - We needed the rain but just not in one go!
@jgpittenger Thanks very much :)
@dhg Madness! But thank you ;)
@helenhall You can see this large hill from almost everywhere around here....maybe that's why I don't photograph it very often ;)
@domenicododaro This is our first coating of snow for the year - it's almost all gone today as "snow in May will not stay"...but it will be back with a vengeance. Never in summer though...
@swguevin2 Thanks very much :)
@dustyloup Damned hooligans...
@happypat It's the first coat for the year - it's almost gone today but it will be back i'm sure...
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I've been the top, the first time in 1989. It's a good day out although the weather can be unpredictable and it's not an easy climb by any means...and as long as they show respect then they can visit...
@kwind Thank you very much :)
@lsquared Thanks very much :)
@pdulis Thank you kindly :)

May 7th, 2020  
Perfect in every detail.
May 7th, 2020  
fantastic

Such a majestic mountain and love how you've incorporated the chimney tower. You create really amazing landscapes!

@hrs Thanks very much :)
May 8th, 2020  
love it
gorgeous place
May 8th, 2020  
@jerome Thanks very much :)
May 8th, 2020  
I've been there! Your capture is both beautiful yet haunting -- why is there only a chimney? what happened to the structure?
May 9th, 2020  
Stunning👌

@joemuli Thanks very much :)
@jyokota Thanks very much - there's a lot of abandoned old homesteads around this site of the Mountain and often it's just the chimney and hearth left, like they've taken the timber for other purposes
May 9th, 2020  
@graemestevens I wondered if the wooden part of the building had burned down? or deteriorated?
May 9th, 2020  
@jyokota Quite possibly - there's a number of them around this area so I'd probably go with deterioration
