The BFD. VFYW.

Yesterday’s photo was of **Lake Ohakuri** which at 12 km², is the largest artificial lake of the Waikato river system in New Zealand. It forms the reservoir for the Ohakuri hydroelectric power station. Construction of the dam was completed in 1960\. The lake was filled over 14 days in January and February 1961\. This drowned two-thirds of the Orakei Korako geothermal area, including two of the world’s largest geysers, Minginui Geyser and Orakei Korako Geyser.

The BFD. VFYW.

> **Editor Note:** *The BFD* needs more views from your window. We particularly need challenging views that contain enough clues for the once a month prize-winning VFYW.

Please put **View From My Window** in the **subject line.**

NOTE: We prefer photos to be from a window with preferably part of the window in the shot.

They do not have to be exotic locations. They can be the view from your kitchen window or bedroom window or lounge room window or car window on the way to work.
