Phil's Scenic Photos
These are some senic photos that I have
taken at various times. They don't really fit into any of the
previous sections. They are here mainly because I think they look
good.
Mount Taranaki (Egmont) overlooks the rich
farming area of the Taranaki Provence in the North island. In the
foregrpound is the New Plymouth Observatory. Mt Taranaki is a
typical andesitic volcanic cone over 8,000 feet (2400meters) which
last erupted over 200 year ago. This photo was reproduced from a
postcard.
The next three photos were taken in November
1997 in the northern part of the South Island, New Zealand.
This is the Cob Cottage, an old
historic cottage which is now a historic building. The Cob Cottage is
located on the State Highway One just south of Blenheim, in northern
Marlbourgh. This is typical of how early pioneer settlers lived in
New Zealand last century.
This is the windmill next to a
7/10th scale model of the Blenheim Railway Station. A local model
railway society runs a large miniture railway sustem with about 6
kilometres of track. The windmill is about 20 metres high.
This is a shot of the western margin
of Tasman Bay, which is in the northern South Island, near Nelson.
The current shot is looking north. The location is about 10km north
of Motueka.
This is a shot of a seal basking in
the sun at the seal colony at Red Rocks, on the southern coast of
Wellington, New Zealand.
