Blue Spring - a photo on Flickriver

Blue Spring

            There was a break in the rainy weather,  so we took off for a few days away to explore more of our own backyard. This is one of the places I have been wanting to visit for a while. The Blue Spring is on the North Island of New Zealand. The reason for the blue colour  of the Waihou River and its spring source is the high optical purity of the water. Pure water is intrinsically blue in hue because it absorbs red light leaving only blue and some green light to be transmitted to the observer's eye.
