Hanmurana Springs- January 19, 2012

 Breathtaking view of the blue clear waters at Hanmurana springs
 Looking at that you really do feel like you're in paradise. We couldn't stop commenting on the water and how clear and beautiful it was. Cold too.
 Here is Miles taking another drink of the scenery. Not the water though it was tempting.

 The walk took us through a redwood grove. (the same redwoods as in California) the tallest of these ones are about 55m tall only half the size of some of the California redwoods. Yet looking up at these ones you can't even begin to imagine how tall the Cali ones must be, a tree that height is beyond our comprehension.
 Standing on a small stump. this one would have been about 120 years old. Some of the oldest in Cali are over 2000 years old.
 This really made me want to go fishing. A trout I could have grabbed out of the water (in theory anyway)

 The head of Hanmurana Springs- this is where the amazing volume of water all originates after an amazing 70 years travelling through the depths of the earth it emerges here.

See what I mean about the clear water? Levitating trout!

                                     
Another spring that connects to the Hanmurana, the headwaters of this one are called "Dancing Sands" I think its pretty obvious why...
