Auckland from Rangitoto.
Waitangi Day holiday in 2016 found me up the Rangitoto volcano in the Hauraki Gulf just outside of Auckland, New Zealand.

I stopped to snap this photo of Auckland from around half way down to the ferry, Capturing the CBD, the Sky Tower and the Harbour Bridge as well as several of the extinct volcanoes in the area.
