Skyline of Auckland from Mount Eden

Mount Eden, Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Skyline of Auckland as seen from Mt. Eden. In the foreground you see the crater of the now extinct volcano that Mount Eden is, while in the background you see the skyline of Auckland on a cloudy, warm and humid summer's day. Mount Eden is - with its 196 meters in hights - the highest volcano in Auckland. Its Maori name is Maungawhau, which means hill of the Whau tree. The lower areas of the hill have been used, during Maori inhabitation, as gardens and terrasses. Today Mount Eden is protected by the Historic Places act from 1980. This photo is also published in Lille Ulven Photography's New Zealand calendars in A2, A3, A4 and A5 format. uuid="811068C0-C859-4267-9871-2A9FF9834D35" id="New Zealand lilleulven.com 20130113_113636_NZ_Auckland_Auckland_Skyline of Auckland_www.LilleUlven.com.DNG New Zealand North Lilleulven.com"
