The Devils Bath
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 5 May 2010 in Landscape & Rural.
This is the Devil's Bath at the Wai-o-tapu geothermal Park just outside of Rotorua, is a unique shade of green which is naturally created from the assortment of mineral elements in the water.
This is the last shot in my series of the walk around the park, but still have a few more shots of my last day or so in NZ
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Was away for a while but finally back
Other shots are posted on my flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/tattoodjay/
IF you see yourself in any of my people on the street shots and want it to be removed please contact me and I will remove it straight away
