In and around both Taupo and Rotorua there is loads and loads of geothermal activity. While we were visited Rotorua we spotted this within the Government Gardens. Rachel Spring has a temperature of approx 212 degrees farenheit and is a natural hot spring of alkaline water.
Linking up with The Weekend Roundup and Weekend Reflections.

I enjoyed Rotorua very much. Wished I could have spent longer there.
I'd enjoy seeing that.
Good one.
Let me jump in!
I still can sometimes (!!) not buy a beer cause they think I´m not 16 already.
I kid you not. I´m nearly 50 for crying out loud.
This would be fun, I´m 60 or 70 and they still ask for my ID.
I look be those govt gardens . You can wander around amongst all the activity for free
...springs like this are rare in my area. The history is interesting.
I visited Rotorua in 2003, what an interesting place. I spent an evening at a hot pool spa, it had lots of different pools with different temperatures. and I was fascinated with a big hole that had appeared in the middle of a street with safety barriers all around it and billows of steam coming out of the hole!
I would love to see a spring like that. Nice shot.
Girl I think you'd be burned pretty badly if you jumped in there.
No springs in my area, Have a lovely weekend
Very cool!
