This is Mount Te Aroha. Well, technically, it’s not really a mountain, but hey who’s counting those last few inches? Lol
This photo was taken a trillion years ago, back when I didn’t know hubby. He’s the one hiding behind the camera.
Anyway, I remember the day well. I was at a friends place and it had been a beautiful warm day. Then suddenly, about 3:00 in the afternoon, some strange looking clouds swept across the sky like a shroud and the day turned dark and cold.
The clouds only stayed for about 20 to 30 minutes, but when they cleared, snow blanketed the “mountain” and hills beside it.
I had never seen snow in Te Aroha before and was stunned by the beauty. It is such a rare event, that even after 25 or so trillion years, I have not seen it again. Sure, we get the odd sprinkle of white dust occasionally, but nothing like that day.
Here is another photo of the “mountain” which I took about 10 or 15 years ago.
Anyway, today is sunny here in Hamilton City. Though the sky is clear and blue, the wind is strong and c-c-c-cold. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
AWESOME pictures,
it is coldddddd here to!
hope you have a great week!
