Strange weather this weekend. Never before have I heard such a lound clap of thunder! It sounded as if there was a huge explosion in the centre, at that very moment, I was walking down Queen Street and saw eight of these huge firefighting cars and so on. Was pretty scary and impressive how people reacted. Many pedestrians were looking anxoiusly at the sky. I think 9/11 is still in people's minds.
Anyway, later on that Friday, we had a voluminous thunderstorm, the following picture is taken from TVNZ.

Anyway, on Friday we had just these crazy big cumulus clouds, so I decided to go to the small volcanic island Rangitoto, which is situated just about 20km offshore, eastern.

The island raise out of the water as the volcano errupted about 600 years ago.
On my way to the crater.
Stunning scenery!

If you didn't like that, something must be wrong with you! =D
