Volcanoes everywhere.

by kiwi

Almost all the hills around and about are relics of what were once volcanoes. And anything like a range of hills was likely formed by earth movement associated with volcanic activity somewhere.Some are very easy to pick out because of their conical shape. I live between where I'm standing to take the photo, and the volcano in the distance.

Wide Waikato

by kiwi

The Waikato region is vast and appealing. There are both large flat areas but also a lot of nice rolling hills sprawling between coasts.This area is well known for its lush green grass, assisting the dairy industry and also a very strong horse breeding industry for race horses. It's the green green expanse, oh and I live here!
