- Mount Egmont (Taranaki)
Photo by J.Hajas
After a rainy day in April 2007, clouds disappeared and the Taranaki (Mt.Egmont) presented himself in the early morning with a completely clear sky. I shot this picture from Northeast, at 7 am, roughly 5 km from the base. Temperature, 20 C at the base, + 5 C on the top. There was still some snow in the crater. I needed 6 hours to get up, and 3 hours to get down. - Agathla Peak

This is the first view of the majestic Agathla Peak (El Capitan) from the South, roughly 4 km from the hill. It was a stormy winter day, a snowshower went through the area, and shortly before sunset the last sunshine gave a perfect illumination of the hill, with dark clouds in the background. - Mount Egmont (Taranaki)

Just 25 minutes before reaching the top crater, I could see this view to the South. The 400-500 m thick cloud base was approximately 1800 m, this picture was shot probably at ~2200-2300 m. - Mount Egmont (Taranaki)

February 2008, a clear day at Lake Pukaki with Mt. Cook, view to North. This is a picture, taken by a strong telezoom 300 mm, since the Aoraki/Mt.Cook is more than 40 km away. - Lassen Peak

On the way to Lassen Peak on a sunny august morning. Best route to get up is from South. From the car park you may need 2.5-3 hours to reach the peak, and 1 1/2 hours to get down again. Close to the peak you clearly feel the lack of oxygen ! - Lassen Peak

Just half an hour from the peak. Take longer breaths and breaks ! - Lassen Peak

I shot this picture from the eastern side of Mt. Lassen, from the edge of the very rugged crater. When you get into the lava fields of the crater, in some areas you can clearly feel the smell of hydrogen sulphide, as a sign of volcanic activities.
