Rangitoto Island

An obvious volcano, which is almost everpresent around Auckland - the top peeping over a wall, or visible in the distance down past the end of a street. This view shows it in spectacular breadth - container ship included for scale - from the top of Mt Victoria.

It's curious that the best viewing points for Auckland and Wellington are both called Mount Victoria. I particularly like this view of Rangitoto because of the foreground of typical New Zealand suburbia.
