Lake Tekapo. The water has this brilliant turquoise colour in direct sunlight. It’s caused by the glacial minerals in the water. This natural lake was expanded to serve as a reservoir along Aotearoa New Zealand’s hydroelectric infrastructure. In fact, NZ gets most of its power from hydroelectric generation.

Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest glacier, the Tasman Glacier, is shrinking. In 1972, the lake in this picture didn’t exist. The glacier used to reach here. Now, the ice has retreated to the left side of the picture. You can see the edge of the glacier, it’s a wall of ice topped by a layer of rocks. A few icebergs from the glacier are floating in the lake.
Aotearoa New Zealand isn’t one of the world’s biggest polluters. But what happens thousands of miles away has an undeniable impact here.

Waterfalls in Arthur’s Pass National Park. I especially like the last photo showing two waterfalls high up in the clouds.
An up-close look at the mountains in Arthur’s Pass National Park. No, I didn’t climb up. This was shot from street level with a long lens.
Visited Wellington this week. Lots of blue skies and calm winds. I’m told by an unreliable source the weather is always like this in Aotearoa New Zealand’s capital city. 😜
