Photos from YM

As promised: I'm uploading the photos I took while I was in Auckland for Yearly Meeting. Also the ones on the way there and back.
I saw a rainbow and some snow on the desert road. Fortunately my camera is great for taking pictures through the crap glass of the window of a moving bus. Unfortunately it is limited to the visible spectrum seen by normal humans so the rainbow comes out looking right to all you guys but missing a stripe for me.

I'm a little unsure of where I was when I took this one. Mount Eden is somewhere behind me and one of the harbours is somewhere in front.

A couple of my friends discussing something interesting.

Young friends sorting out the details for a presentation.

Everyone getting ready for the next meeting.

The crater of Mount Eden.

This one makes it look more like a crater, but doesn't really convey how deep it is.

More crater.

One tree hill from Mount Eden.

I forgot which volcano this is.

There are a few volcanoes in this picture.

Another volcano visible from Mount Eden.

An awesome tree growing in the Mount Eden crater.

Marvin: an old friend of my family.

Mount Ruapehu looking spectacular. This time it wasn't ruining any paintwork by causing liquid sulphur to rain from the sky as it was when I first saw it.
