Thomas Pesquet: The Taranaki volcano in New Zealand is a perfect round emerging from the green forest. They say it looks like Mount Fuji in Japan, I hope to capture Mount Fuji too one day.
Première photo de la Nouvelle-Zélande qui rend justice à la beauté de ses paysages : le volcan au repos Taranaki et sa forme ronde presque parfaite, et les dégradés de vert entre la forêt de ses flancs et la plaine qui l’entoure
