if only there was some kind of screaming face coming out of the mud that would of been an awesome pic.......or maybe thats just me being sadistic ?

[Kiernan]

That's the type of thing I could sit and photograph all day just to see what each different image brings. Love the shots.

There's something you definitely don't see every day. Thanks for sharing.

Cool! (Well, HOT!)

Wow. I've even been there. We spent a night in Rotorua many years ago. We spent a few weeks touring New Zealand. Now the smell in that area takes a little getting used to.

Very nice shots that bring back some fond memories.

very cool shots. I wonder what they would look like with a slower shutter speed?

[RockOne]

Thanks all.

Me too. Didn't have much time there though unfortunately :-(.

It sure does !. Don't know if I could ever live there :-) !

Does anyone else see a person/body coming out of the first picture? Picture is split. Right half of the pic with their back against a wall looking downward over their right should with the left arm raised and bent. Do you see it or is it just me?

That is so cool.

Thanks all.
I guess the mud does smell the same :-) Bad !

Now that you have pointed it out R1Kid I can see the figure in there. !

[Dante King]

I actually see what looks like a southern belle with hand on a railing, wide open mouth and a child in similar dress in front of her. I outlined in red to make it a bit clearer. maybe too much coffee tonight?

Does anyone see the gorilla in the fourth picture? Leaning quite a bit forward looking slightly towards the camera. I love these kinds of shots. They let the imagination run wild!
