More random iPhone photos

At one of the thermal parks, they had there own tiny version of Old Faithful that went off every morning at 10:15. However, for it to do so, some guy walked up and dumped some chunks of “soap-like substance” into it to get it going. Ugh. I need to check with my parents, but I don’t recall that is how Old Faithful worked when we visited.



This is my reaction.



This is an image of some of the thermal pools that didn’t get posted before.



Here is the Champagne Pool, again, but with the iPhone instead of the Nikon. I can’t say why. Just experimenting.



These are some fishing boats near Goat Island.



These are two iPhone pics spliced sloppily together. It is an 800 year old Kauri tree. Most were cut down years ago for lumber. This one somehow survived the early deforestation of New Zealand.



This is one of the popular rental vans in New Zealand. They were all decorated with various random graffiti-style pop art (screw copyrights, I guess). I don’t think Charles Shultz would have approved.



This is a type of salt that is common down here. Let me preface by admitting I never fully understood Morton’s “When it Rains, It Pours” campaign. I mean, if it said “When it Snows, it Pours” it would make more sense (kind of), but wouldn’t be as catchy.

“See How it Runs” is not only a lame rip off, but makes no sense at all. And, by the way, if you want people to use your food product, don’t use images of rats on it.

Or, use slugs and have Pat and Tom Phalen chase after them with buckets of salt.
