Moving further up North Island and have arrived in New Plymouth. The town has been ransacked by planners and builders, but outside the area is dominated by mount Egmont a dormant volcano and several other, older ones. The views going up the mountain are magnificent and the area is covered in small farms . This sketch was one of them against the background of a smaller and older volcano.
The mountain is magnificent but a lot of the time it is covered in cloud. Just managed to see it early in the morning in the clear.
