I smell rotting eggs, where does that smell come from.OMG, it's coming from within my PC!
Nice capture, I have seen this, and taken a bath,and stayed in a hostel in Rotorua. After two days I was sweating rotten eggs!
Some say they can still smell it sometime when they come near me...

Great image, and I too smell suplhur :) Rotarua is a lovely place to visit but I would not like to live there, although they say you become immune to the smell. Did you get any shots of the boiling mud pools Martina?

I have never been to someplace like this. I would like to go sometime though. How do you get rid of the smell? Good shot.
