Ōhinemutu is a village of the Ngāti Whakaue tribe on the shores of Lake Rotorua and preceded the town of Rotorua of which it is now a suburb. Ōhinemutu is also a thermal area and it can happen that people wake up to a new thermal feature in their backyard;-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohinemutu

HFF folks!

Buddhists place mani stones inscribed with mantras (Om mani padme hum) into walls which are meant to be circumambulated in a clockwise direction. In Bhutan mani walls are usually short, this one in Bumthang's Choekor valley is an exception. HWW!

On the shores of Lago di Como HBM!

After lying dormant for more than a century, Tongariro erupted in 2012 at upper Te Māri Crater. There were two eruptions, one in August and a much smaller one on 21 November. When we passed the mountain 6 days later there was still some activity. www.geonet.org.nz/news/1wJOejzSje4TmJnphO8bBM whc.unesco.org/en/list/421

SSC363: Irisation Seeohren/Abalone sind große Seeschnecken mit einer Schale, die wie ein Ohr geformt und innen mit Perlmutt besetzt ist. Die neuseeländische Unterart (Paua) hat besonders schöne Farben und wurde von den Maori seit jeher zu Schmuck verarbeitet, bei den traditionellen geschnitzten Holzskulpturen werden Pauas als Augen eingesetzt. Dieses Reisemitbringsel habe ich an der Poley Bay auf der Coromandel-Halbinsel aufgelesen www.ipernity.com/doc/523247/52560908

Coromandel Walkway is a walking track round the northernmost tip of the Coromandel peninsula between Fletcher Bay and Stony Bay. Road access to both bays is by narrow unsealed roads that often are in a bad state -as is the walkway, currently partially closed due to landslides. HFF!

Vardø, Norway's easternmost town, is only 35km from Russian waters. The large radar domes are officially there to monitor space debris....
