| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| Waiotapu is Maori for "sacred waters". This area is about 30 minutes south of Rotorua. It features the spectacular Champagne pools, a series of enormous hot pools that are a rich mixture of gold, yellow and orange. The colours are caused by mineral salts in the water. The pools occupy a crater that formed as a result of a volcanic explosion 900 years ago. |

Fine colors, not too much saturation ? But looks good.
