Colour writing

The Wai-O-Tapu thermal area 0n the road out of Rotorua heading to Lake Taupo is covered with collapsed craters, boiling pools of mud and with steam all over.

But in contrast to similar places we have seen round here parts of the pools are in colour - usually reddish, yellowish or green. All due to geology of some sort and quite spectacular. The Devil's Bath (left) is a good example.

Other intetesting ones include the Champagne Pool (pinkish) and the Opal Pool (greenish/yellow). Quite unique. Dave
