Day 6 - 06/01/2012

Today we travelled down to National Park and found ourselves accommodation at a local lodge.  We went for a drive up the road to the Whakapapa skifields and it was right on dusk.  Got some lovely photos from up there.  It is a really beautiful place.  There is something about the National Park area that I really love but have no idea what it is.  Just nature at it's best I guess....
Today's photo is looking west from the slopes of Mt Ruapehu - the mountain in the distance is Mt Taranaki/Egmont.
