En-route Taupo

— Napier-Taupo Road, Hawkes Bay.
— Napier-Taupo Road, Hawkes Bay.
This rest area I photographed from the passenger window of a car as we passed by at 100km/hr. The angular rocks of the rest area were cut from a local quarry and placed in an array that creates a natural flow for traffic entering and exiting. The rocks also prevent hoons from doing wheelies on the grass and provide an interesting form to the place.
Rest area. State Highway 4, North of Taumarunui.
Pull-off area. Mountain Road, Mt Ruapehu.
