A storm just passed and a moments reprieve to capture the perfect rainbow in the distance.
A snowstorm engulfing the volcano's, Mt. Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe (pronounced Na-ra-hoi) - also known as Mt. Doom from 'The Lord of the Rings" and Tongariro.
The rain clouds above us shadows part of the Tundra, covered by prairie grass.
We stood in the rain capturing the beauty before us.
The Desert Rd was closed due to heavy snowfalls so we travelled along back roads, where a winter wonderland awaited us at the foothills of Mt. Ruapehu.

This photo is amazing. Love it, love it, love it. The beautiful blue sky, the rich colours in the foreground, and the perfect rainbow. This one for many reasons is my favourite. Well done for capturing this so well.
