Mud, glorious mud, a photo from Bay of Plenty, North Island

Photographer's Note

After many missed shots, I caught the mud, just as the gas was released from below. ... though I could sit there all day watching and listening to the plop, plop of the mud pool doing their thing!

This is in the geothermally active area of Rotorua, at what was known as Whakarewarewa, and is these days re-branding as Te Puia.

Enjoy

Hallo Charlotte!
An inventive and not everyday photo! I can imagine that it took you many photos to get this excellent one. The "expiration date" of these bubbles seems to be very short ;-) This must be a fascinating place ...
Greetings from Germany - where it snows at the time!

Nice capture, Charlotte. I've just come back from a month in New Zealand and got to visit Rotarua but didn't come away with a shot like this. Shame we can't bring the smell out on the webpages.

Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

That's a good shape - and you show it well Charlotte. Shiny and very muddy!
Well done
Janice

PS It costs $50 a head, with or without a guide now to go through Whaka - we refused to pay that last time and I'll never go again. I have read that tourists think it is too dear too. In fact Rotorua is an expensive place to visit now.
