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!
I was going to present a Doctor Who Festival ‘Rap’ but thought it would probably end up being pretty lame. The reason I headed to Sydney was solely to attend this amazing event at the Hodern Pavilion in the same precinct as the Sydney Cricket Ground. I did end up with another day in Sydney, …
Picking up from my post a couple of days ago, here’s the second part to my recent week in New Zealand. Day Four The fourth day in New Zealand brought something I was very much excited about visiting before going there – Hobbiton! A farm which was transformed into the Shire for the Lord …
