Yesterday I wrote about how New Zealand's colours that seemed to be wrong. Whilst you will see it a little later in my finished images, I thought I'd include a very quick raw snap of one of the lakes we have seen on our journey. Don't worry it took a little while for our eyes to adjust.
According to our hotel information - "the turquoise blue of the lake is created by 'rock flour'. The glaciers in the headwaters of Tekapo grind rock into fine dust on their journey towards the lake. This 'rock flour' is suspended in th water and when combined with sunlight creates the unique water colour".
Tomorrow we will be travelling all day to get to the town of Te Anau in southern South Island. On the way we hope to stop in at Wanaka. Home of Lake Wanaka - known for its mirror reflections! Then onto Milford Sound and back to Queenstown to explore its surrounds a little more thoroughly.
Enjoy!
