Mount Taranaki, or Mount Egmont, is the centre of attention of the Taranaki region on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is a dormant stratovolcano and one of the most symmetrical volcanic cones in the world. It is located in a national park with intensively-farmed dairy pasture reaching right up to the mostly-circular park boundary.

The Western Scheldt (Dutch: Westerschelde) in the province of Zeeland in the southwestern Netherlands, is the estuary of the Scheldt river. This river once had several estuaries, but the others are disconnected from the Scheldt, leaving the Westerschelde as its only direct way to the sea. It is an important shipping route to the Port of Antwerp, Belgium. Therefore, unlike the other sea arms, it is not closed by a dam as part of the Delta Works. Instead, the dykes around it have been heightened and reinforced.
Many ships have sunk in the Western Scheldt. Following an agreement between the Dutch and Belgian governments in 1995, many of these wrecks have been removed to improve shipping access to Antwerp. It was expected that the last 38 wrecks in the shipping channel would be removed during 2003. The largest wreck was the 131-metre (430 ft) long Alan A. Dale which was removed during June 2003.
The Western Scheldt was freed from German occupation in October and November 1944 by the First Canadian Army during The Battle of the Scheldt.

About a month ago, I posted the black and white version of this building, which I'm putting in the first comment for comparison. I said I would post the colour version later, so here it is. This is the Pacific Building downtown. I think I like the mono better, but here you can see the colours :)
This picture and the four before it
And also the next picture
That I in the next few days maybe upload
Are within an hour
On the way to town
Captured, snapped and shot
I have a lot of respect for those
who make it
to show a picture every day.
Sometime and somewhere
I have on my forays into the villages
shot this picture
how come? I don't know.
I've passed this house many times
It hasn't changed its face over the years
The shutters always down
I always wondered
What may be behind
Margaretenhof, Pilgramgasse and Margaretenbrunnen (from left) in the centre of Margareten, Vienna's 5th district
Margaretenhof is a large residential building of the historicist period. It was built in 1884/1885 by Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer.
Pilgramgasse connects the former centre of Margareten (pictured here) with the river Wien, a tributary of the Danube and the border of the district.
Margaretenbrunnen is a fountain inaugurated in 1836 that is dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch, who gave her name to the then still independent municipality.
