These are shots from the Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland on the road from Taupo to Rotorua I thought I would show the mud pool and then show some of the shapes of the mud as it leaps ot of the pools. This is a free area near a paid area.

Photography Tips

I had a 400 mm lens with a fast shutter speed to capture the mud making these shapes.
