Simply an awesome sight of Mount Cook to the far left (taken from 40km away) looking over the clean reflective surface of lake Tekapo.

These are the type of views in this world that make you simply stop and wonder for a few minutes and then the silence is broken as a coach turns up off loading a group of camera clicking Japanese who manage to drown out the cicadas or worse still our cousins across the pond complete with name badges stood there for a fraction of a second before proclaiming it’s ok but not as big or pretty as one back home.

Personally I enjoy the silence, no distractions and the chance to simply look, enjoy and not have to think about anything.

More wine anyone?
