Lake Taupo pano
I've been posting panoramic photos from our hiking safari in New Zealand on the blog I created for it. So I thought I would post a panorama or 2 here from the trip before we started the safari.

This is the view from the eastern shore of Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake. It is located in the middle of North Island, north of the volcanoes of Tangariro National Park and in the midst of the thermal areas extending south from Rotorua.
The weather was not great but pretty much dry that day, as we sped south from Rotorua to Wellington. Claudia can be seen in the picture picking up rocks to take back to her students. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of carrying rocks around for 2+ weeks and then all the way back to Illinois, but then she showed me how light they all were--pumice!
