A trembling volcano
This view of Tongariro National Park is taken from the Tongariro
Crossing walk and looks toward the Red Crater with
Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Ruapehu in the background.

Mt Ngauruhoe is also Mt Doom in the movie
Lord of the Rings.

    I saw Mt St Helens blow. It was devastating.

    Be careful.

    But those mt's sure are something to look at.

    David, wow. were you actually there to see it, or did you see it on TV? I watched it on TV and it was beyond words. It would have been frightening to have been there.

    I'll be careful. Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Ruapehu are only 2 or 3 hours drive from us and if we drive to the top of a good sized hill, we can see them.

    When Ruapehu erupted 10 years ago, ash fell here in Hamilton.

    Blessings to you and have a great day.

    Nice Picture, Beautiful Scenery. You Live in an incredible place. You may consider selling that image to a book publisher. after doing a few image trix it would make a wonderful book cover. Love the shot and enjoy fellow christians doing great stuff. Keep up the goooooood work.

    nathan, hi there. New Zealand is a beautiful place. This set of three photos belongs to
    http://www.virtualoceania.net/nz so I can't claim to have taken them. I wish I had though. I saw them on their web site and borrowed them.
