Lake Tarawera


Lake Tarawera, originally uploaded by fides invicta.

Went for a trip over to Rotorua a couple of weeks ago. Took a picnic, loaded up the chairs and the dog and off we went.
We like to go the the lakes, it is very quiet with some beautiful scenery.
This fun photo has my kids messing about threatening to throw mum in the lake, nice snapshot of a family messing about and having fun.
In the background is the menacing bulk of Mount Tarawera which was rent apart in a huge volcanic eruption in 1886, hugely altering the surrounding landscape and killing over 150 people in the process.
