Mt Eden volcano at the summit is 196 metres above sea level. It is the highest natural point on the Auckland isthmus. The majestic bowl-like crater is 50 metres deep. The volcano erupted several times resulting in a series of craters, with the last eruption about 15,000 years ago. To go up, you can take the easy option by going by car or by bus. Or you can climb up a series of steps and walk up the track. I usually do this, but sorry I don't count the steps. The track can be quite steep at some places.
Nice tqke on the theme. I wish I had thought of an outdoor example like that

It is always so interesting to see part of your world so far away from me. Lovely photo Ann. Wishing you a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteYou do know how to find good pictures. This one is unusual, and I just kind of want to stare at it for awhile, don't know why.
ReplyDeletevery nice and i love the gloomy overcast sky to go with that foreground.
