This one looks so strange! A lake in the middle of nothing....great constrast.

looks alien (and quite inviting) - amazing!

Beautiful, but the water must be cold. Or acid. Because nobody is swimming in !

great colors!

Are people able to swim in these waters? Very remote location obviously, i just wonder of the safety of the water itself. Is it heavily laden with chemicals or safe as rain at Hooper Street?

The picture is taken from the top of Red Crater. The colour as you can see is just amazing. I also wondered if you could swim in those waters ... so I put my hand in it and did not get acid burnt (good news!) but it is definitely full of minerals like sufer.

Yep, full of sulfer, also there are lakes around which only have sulfer in parts of them, which make the lakes dotted with green in clear blue tones. A beautiful area, this is around Rotorua, right?

I flew over here, I'm pretty sure, if this is in the middle of the North Island, in a water-plane 3 years ago. Absolutely gorgeous terrain.

Spectacular....essence of nature.....

Nice colours. I was last year in november around this area. But i saw nothing because the weather was very bad. No lake and no mountains. That´s life!
