These are some of the photographs I took while in Rotorua, New Zealand - geothermal hot spot of the North Island. It's my second visit here in three years - Mother Nature is amazing.
I also visited Te Puia, one of the Maori cultural arts & craft institutes in the city.

I really do need to get my butt over to NZ. Looks like you're having a fab time.
ReplyDeleteSeeing that mud pool photo threw me back to when I visited - I was about 8yrs old (umm Gr 2??). Found it fascinating to watch it bubble and plonk onto itself.
