Absolute silence...
This shot was made just at sunset but with the cloud cover you wouldn't tell. But the thing was that there was no wind and absolute silence. No puff of breeze...nothing.
A totally un-real experience to stand atop one mountain looking at another at dusk on ANZAC friday evening. Should have left a poppy behind. Then it was about 10kms hike back down to the carpark in the dark with head torches.
This is from Mount Tongariro looking across South Crater towards Ngauruhoe or to LOTR fans - Mount Doom. This is also part of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing with a side diversion. Part of the trail runs across South Crater below...if anyone was there they would be about the size of a ant. Bit hard to put anything in for a sense of scale...
If you zoom in [ mouse click on the image ] you will just see the line of the trail across the crater at the other end from left to right ... and anyone would still look like a ant.
