I had a look at all unprocessed photos taken that day and there are a few, but none of Ruapehu. So yes, I took one photo of that. Then I drove down the hill and headed north to an area of mountains and trekked in for a bit and took a number of photos there. I don’t think they would be very helpful.

BTW, according to Google Earth, there are some…[Read more]

Hi Mike.

I was checking out if I took any other photos that day and came across this photo of the dome.

Nah, he’s not mad. I sent him the date in my camera so he could work out what time the photo was taken. He apologized for not replying quickly saying he was busy, but wanted to get right back into it.

If Jesus is from Adam as some here argue, then all will die and no one will live. Nick, Gene, and Jodi will not live if they confess they are of Adam and if their messiah is of Adam.

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in…[Read more]

The Left is crazy.

Way off gene.

What is the identity of the Beast from the Sea in Daniel and Revelation?

While many debate who or what the Beast of Revelation actually is, it seems that in these last days, it has been revealed to us. What kingdoms make up the seven heads and who are the the seven kings? What is the last kingdom? Who and what is the Antichrist?

Watch this…[Read more]

See the extent of the forest for yourself
Behind you is the edge of town, that is 2000 feet above sea level. Ahead of you is the steady climb through thousands of feet in altitude of forest. Watch the trees get smaller as the climate gets colder. Navigate your way up till you reach the lava rock slopes and the snowy peaks. I bet you will give up…[Read more]

The start of the forest
Mike, take a look at where the tree line starts in relation to Ohakune. The ski lodge is at the base of the mountain or just…[Read more]

For a comparison
Remember that the sea at the base of the land has to be sea level.

Where is all the forest? Where is all the landscape gone? Where is Ohakune? They are below the curve, right?

Hi Mike.

Take a look at this image. It shows Ohakune in relation to Mt Ruapehu and remember that Ohakune is shy of 2000 feet above sea level.

As you can see, there is heaps of forested slopes on the lower mountain, even more than half the mountain perhaps, although that could be due to be at a high elevation. I think it is correct to say that…[Read more]

Brilliant video Mike. Plenty of legs left in this debate it seems.

One thing to consider Mike with all figure based calcs aside, if the tree line is half way down the mountain in reality, then how come it is near the bottom of my photo?

This simple observation that dazza points out is still valid right?

I’m guessing ‘compression’ is your…[Read more]

Hi Mike.

I am calculating when my Ruapehu pic was taken. The time in the meta data is wrong because I never (as far as I can remember) altered the time settings since I purchased the camera many years ago.

The date is correct as you can see, but the time zone is out when compared to my car dashboard which is accurate.

From this I will post the…[Read more]

Will take a look when I get home Mike.

That is cool.

Cheers.
