Hanmer Maze

We often visit Hanmer Springs, especially on the way to Nelson, further north, where my in-laws live. The volcanic hot pools there are the main attraction, but we have done this mini golf and maze thing a couple of times too.

Naturally, your true photography fanatic will take some photos there, especially when an interesting composition is available. This one is Nicole, seen through a waterfall and framed by the (fake) rocks of the maze. A short shutter speed (1/1595 second) freezes the water into interesting patterns. I used an iPhone 6 for this shot.

I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: Think for Yourself: In the end, everything is just an opinion. Be skeptical, and think for yourself! (posted 2026-04-25 at 21:12:02). Or go to the Home Page of My Blog to choose a post to view.
