Near Lake Taupo are the Huka Falls.
Maybe — between Multnomah, Yellowstone, Kegon, and all of Yosemite — I’ve become hard to impress.
I did learn the “huka” means “foam” in Māori. Clever.
It’s difficult to see clearly in this picture, but — just at the waterline — the flow of the river has carved laterally into the rocks to either side, making the falls look a little like Heath Ledger’s Joker.
Why so serious?
