A recent trip to the internationally acclaimed Blue Spring near Putaruru, New Zealand, provided wonderful photographic opportunities, with plenty of scenic beauty along the way. There was great contrast between the intense blue-green water and the lush green of the surrounding farmland and bush which added to the appeal of this subject.
Access is via the well formed
Te Waihou Walkway which lies alongside the upper reaches of the Waihou River and is fed by many springs and tributaries. The crystal clear, pure, intense blue-green water flows from the spring at 42 cubic metres (9240 gallons) per minute. Blue Spring water accounts for around 60% of bottled water sold in New Zealand and also supplies the local town of Putaruru with no treatment necessary.
