THE WILD AND BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL LAKE TEKAPO - PART 2

The second part of the short stopover at Lake Tekapo during the bus trip from Christchurch and Queenstown, to and fro. This was love at first sight.I hope I could be back one there to see the mountains and the sky, the blue lake water and most importantly the pastel-coloured lupinus flowers.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day,

I hear lake water lapping with low sound by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavement grey,

I hear it in the deep heart's core.

"The Lake Isle of Innisfree"

William Butler Yeats

THE WILD AND BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL LAKE TEKAPO - PART ONE

I only stayed at Lake Tekapo for a short while but the images seem to imprint in my mind permanently.

Other than the beautiful mountain and lake, plus the blue sky on a hot summer day, what had made this place more significant was the "lepinus" flowers that sprang up from the ground everywhere. The first thing that came across my mind seeing this beautiful plant was: "If only I could this flower home..."

More photos of Lake Tekapo coming your way after this in Part 2. I have to share this beautiful sight with everybody.
