ENTRY DESCRIPTION
During my trip to New Zealand in the spring of 2019, one of the places I most wanted to visit was the Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland in Rotorua, New Zealand for its incredible geothermal marvels. Expecting bright, vivid colors during this visit, I was greeted by a foggy, overcast day. Much to my delight, the photographs captured the solemn, peaceful mood that gives the natural elements the respect they deserve.
