hazardous

Tongariro National Park, North Island

an alternate view of Mount Ngauruhoe....one of three active volcanos near each other at Tongariro...all are hazardous as these giant vents can still erupt without much warning

as for immediate dangers, note the large scale boulders in the foreground....these were spewed out during more recent explosions

Wow !! Spectacular landscape... BV

Handsome mountain with ribbons of show looks like a geologic double of Mt. Fuji - probably first cousins! Rocky foreground is well selected and effective. V

That is a pretty awesome sight! I'm not sure I would want to hike very close to that,depending on how often it blows it's top.

A lovely image. Nice how the horizontal bands at the bottom pull the eye up to the conical shape of the volcano. V
Marcia Rules29-Jan-2009 00:13
a most unusual perspective! love it! VV

A beautiful shot of this very distinctive mountain. We have a number of former volcanic
mountains in Ireland, one of them Errigle in Co Donegal, is very like this. V

Wonderful shot, and so nostalgic for me. Do you have one of Mt Taranaki, which I saw outside the back door every morning of my childhood (when there weren't clouds). Very well done.
Aud Elise Sjøsæther28-Jan-2009 20:57

The perfect volcano, earth in the making.

Gorgeous landscape, David - lovely light, a strong tight composition and a great photo of the quintessential volcano shape...V

Beautifull landscapte and very well composed.
Bill Warren28-Jan-2009 18:04
Classic shape and so well frosted with snow streaks.
FrankB28-Jan-2009 18:00
now that is a textbook volcano...looks just like the pictures in the old comic books...the picture you had in your mind as a kid...V
Guest 28-Jan-2009 17:20
Glad we don't have these 'things' in The Netherlands. Awesome to look at, a nightmare to deal with when they erupt
Guest 28-Jan-2009 17:13
Love that snow on the mount, it's like drawn illustration in a book :) V
Gerard Koehl28-Jan-2009 16:31
Magnifique paysage bien composé avec ces différents plans. V

Spectacular scenery, I love to witness the eruption...
Walter Otto Koenig28-Jan-2009 15:44
Wonderful view of this majestic volcano. It reminds me of 19th century woodcuts by Hokusai shoeing Mount Fuji. Well composed. "V"
