The colours of the geothermal spring at Waiotapu, near Rotorua, New Zealand, are absolutely stunning. The sulphur and other gases and minerals produce some amazing effects and bright colours. And when you toggle the colour saturation, it turns out quite special!
Here’s my final two parts of my hospital experiences. Burkina Faso, and this is where it all happened, I got my first ever serious tropical disease, malaria. I was in Banfora, a large town (but definitely a town) six or so hours south west of the capital Ouagadougou. I remember the lead up – I’d …
