Low clouds and rising steam merge above a shallow geothermal pool at Wai-O-Tapu, creating a muted, almost otherworldly scene. Mineral-stained ground stretches toward distant hills, while vapour drifts slowly across the water’s surface, softening reflections and blurring the boundary between land and sky. The subdued tones and heavy atmosphere capture the quiet power of Rotorua’s geothermal landscape under overcast conditions.
