Wells has described Stony River - Okato as one of his favourite views of Mt. Taranaki.  Although Wells was meticulous in framing his compositions, he was also very economical with his negatives, often enlarging portions of existing negatives to create new views.  This view is an enlargement from a portion of a quarter-plate negative taken two years previous.
