“The New Water”. People have long been drawn to Te Waihou. The river was an important thoroughfare and provided food and flax for local people and visitors alike. The reason for the blue colour (and visual clarity) of Te Waihou 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. Photo location: Te Waihou Walkway, Putaruru, New Zealand. (Photo and caption by Abby Lovis/National Geographic Photo Contest)
