Moturau is the correct Mฤori name for Lake Manapลuri. Roto-Ua, an earlier name for the lake, was given by the Waitaha explorer Rฤkaihautลซ when digging the lake with his kล (Polynesian digging stick), on account of the persistent rain that troubled his party here. The name Moturau is sometimes said to have been given by the northern rangatira Tamatea, who travelled through the area with his travelling party after their waka, Takitimu, capsized at Te Waewae Bay. Moturau is possibly also named after a daughter of Rakapatere, or may even refer to the many islands that existed in the lake. Manapลuri is in fact the name for Shallow Bay located in the eastern part of the lake.

A medium sized bird perched on a dry branch with its mouth open. 

the bird has a pinkish face and throat, a brown head and chest, with blue cap - it also has blue wings, and the underside of the tail has a pastel shade of blue with a black at the end. the lower body of the bird is also similar shade of pastel blue.


the bird is photographed from the front. and there are criss-cross of dry branches, and a green background of leaves (out of focus)

A lesser adjutant stork, sun bathing (noon time) with its wing spread out completely. 

the wings are a varying shades of blue with a green hue, and moves from lighter to some dark black tips. 

the photo is taken from behind, so part of the head and the neck is visible. 

there is elephant grass all around.

Color photograph of a steep mountain gorge with a rushing river cutting through red rock cliffs and dense evergreen forest. The scene opens toward sunlit, pale stone peaks in the distance beneath a clear blue sky. Concrete structures along the riverbank hint at human intervention amid the wild terrain. Captured on Kodak Ektar 100 film with a Pentax MX and 50mm f/4 macro lens.

A monochromatic photograph featuring a close-up, view of a dried flower head. The main feature is a dense, radial arrangement of numerous thin, spiky, and somewhat brittle-looking structures radiating outwards from a central disk.

looking between two large conifer trees out over Crater Lake in Oregon - Wizard Island floating on the silver surface of the lake.  The sun is a starburst caught in the branches of the trees - strange blue clouds outline with smoky brown grey

Wizard Island #blueskymonday each time we have been to Crater Lake in the last few years there have been forestfires. This was one of the clearest days but still a little eerie. playing with clarity just seemed to fit. #eastcoastkin #landscape #photography #scape #nature #landscapephotography
