The colorful Champagne Pool located at Waitomo New Zealand is a 700 year old explosion crater filled with hot water spring. It has steep sides and 62 metres deep. The orange colored edge contains arsenic and antimony sulphur compounds rich in minerals including gold and silver. New Zealand has a lot of volcanic wonders, such as the Tongariro National Park (where the Lord of The Ring was filmed), Lake Taupo, and Rotorua.

It was evening in the Autumn, where the trees are getting ready for winter, changing themselves with yellow leaves. The beautiful scenery of Lake Tekapo is a place like Heaven on Earth. I'm lucky enough to visit this wonderful place. Lake Tekapo, the Church of Good Shepherd, mountains, golden sun rays, blue sky, clouds and the breeze were complementing each other perfectly. The emerald blue lake has a special element at the bed of the lake, called “rock dust”, which gives it nice bluish tone. It's a germ of South Island New Zealand. The rock dust is the by-product of glaciers. The nearby mountain is Mount Cook and there are a few similar lakes surrounding it.

Cathedral Cove is one of the attractions on the Coromandel Peninsula in North Island New Zealand. The cathedral-shape rock arc is a symbol of Cathedral Cove. The cave and the beach was used as the tunnel through which the Pevensie children first re-enter Narnia in the movie version of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. The northern region of North Island has a lot of white sandy beaches to offer, ideal place for relaxing in summer.
