Auckland : Summer evening . . .
The city is seen from the summit of Mt Eden. The Sky Tower, being the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere, stands out prominently in the centre of the picture. Maungawhau / Mount Eden is a scoria cone in the Mount Eden suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. The cone is a dormant volcano and its summit, at 196 metres (643 ft) above sea level, is the highest natural point on the Auckland isthmus. The majestic bowl-like crater is 50 metres (160 ft) deep. The volcano erupted from three craters 28,000 years ago, with the last eruptions from the southern crater filling the northern craters. The western face of the hill was extensively quarried. This is the site of a large ecological restoration project run by volunteers.
