Volcanic Wonderland – Mud Pools

I have been fascinated by the movement and the patterns at the volcanic mud pools at Waiotapo (near Rotorua New Zealand).

The mud is boiling hot and randomly blobs up. I tried to catch the essence of the movement and the subsequent pattern with a series of photos. The photos below are in no particular order. Taken with a Panasonic DMC-TZ7 Lumix.
