New Zealand Tokoaanu Old Wharf

Its hard to see why anyone would have built this really long wooden wharf on the southern shore of Lake Taupo but its there. Black swans congregate in the water around it and gulls love the place too. For me, the best view was when I looked back towards the land and see plumes of steam rising from the forest on the hills above, a reminder that this is a geothermal area and an invitation to explore.

Superb shots, Donavan. Makes me wish I'd waited until the weather improved. The 6 weeks before had been completely clear. I had planned to drag a camera and tripod up Ngauruhoe but the two days I was there were mostly rainy and low cloud.
