The ups and downs
Rā 363 Rāapa 28 o Hakihea
A great day to get on top of the world. Nigel and I climbed Rua Pane one of the peaks in the Pirongia range.(723m) Next step will be the summit! Stunning views from on high. Thought of Hugh, Ginny and the boys as I walked. We were 24 hours early for his final leg but knew we wouldn’t get out tomorrow. We’ve never seen these plants before so this is today’s pick. But I’m also including the link to the 360 surround shot I took.
Day 170 June 18th 2016
Our midwinter weekend away. Family time, time to relax, recharge batteries, enjoy the fresh air and take in the magnificent scenery. Love Tongariro because we can get above the tree line and appreciate the big skies and the rugged terrain. So difficult to choose a photo today because I took so many! Maybe this one at the end of the day when the sun was setting in the west and casting it’s light on Mount Ruapehu and the moon was rising next to it.
Day 159 June 7th 2016
On the road again… there’s a song in there somewhere! On my way to sunny Hawkes Bay and Gisborne for CLA PLD days via Wellington. Flying south means flying down the west coast – snow-capped Taranaki to my right and Ruapehu and Tongariro equally majestic robed in white.
Taranaki is just a blip on the horizon from my lofty stance but impressive.
