I'm usually allergic to early mornings, but in Winter sunrise happens late enough that I can occasionally catch it.

These are the hills around, and water of, Lake Tekapo in NZ's South Island.

A blowy night on #LakeTekapo. Rather #windy tonight and the #power has been off. Puts it into #perspective when you realise that #Ukraine goes through this everyday and night #VPDFO

I love the way this #cloud rolls down the hill every night above #LakeTekapo #camping #chilling

The weather has cleared and its #LakeTekapo at its finest #camping

The tent is up the rain is coming down the wind is blowing hard, but the view across #LakeTekapo to the mountains is #LuvlyJubbly. The #mastodog is in paradise chasing rabbits. #life is good✌️❤️

The road from Lake Tekapo up to Lake Alexandrina, in the Mackenzie Basin, South Canterbury.

It's a post-glacial landscape, with moraine scatters, and glacial scars on the distant ridges.

The Long White Cloud
NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 120 mm, 1/160 sec at f/8, ISO 64 x 5 Frames

An early morning panorama (five (5) shots handheld) looking over Lake Tekapo to the mountains on the other side. Beautiful clouds and fog rolling over the hills in the coolness of the morning

New Zealand isn’t known as the land of the long white cloud for nothing

Lupins
NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 120 mm, 1/320 sec at f/4, ISO 64

One thing New Zealand’s south island is well known for at this time of year are these beautiful lupins

I was actually hoping the whole Lake Tekapo area would be covered in a sea of lupins. Alas it was not to be, however there were a few clusters of the beautiful flowers here and there

Good Shepherd
NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 120 mm, 1/125 sec at f/16, ISO 180

The Church of the Good Shepherd nestled on a small peninsula on the shores of Lake Tekapo

Given the number of astro photographs I’ve seen taken here it’s surprising that it’s actually in the middle of town (Lake Tekapo)

Alas we were visiting around the time of a full moon so no astro for me unfortunately 🙁

New Zealand has for sure some of the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen. This was how lake Tekapo looked today.
Isn't this just gorgeous?
