Wanaka to Tekapo

Another fabulous weather day on our drive over the Lindis Pass, through the MacKenzie country and on to Tekapo.  The landscape is totally different here but stunning all the same.  Just a few images from this part of the trip…

124b (1024x683) Another impressive river, this time the mighty Clutha 142b (683x1024)
And as we arrive at the Clutha, what should we see but a souvenir left by the Kiev Chapter of the Ukranian Harley Club!!!
152b (1024x683)
One hell of a watering system in the MacKenzie basin
185b (1024x683)
Dramatic and quite different landscape in this area
209b (1024x683)
Clay Cliffs viewed from the side of the road (with sun shining straight at us)
On the Public Toilets door in Omarama – someone’s got a sense of humour around here212b (1024x683) On the other side of Lake Pukaki from where I’m standing is Mt Cook, but what am I photographing instead?   Yes, swirls created by the voluminous outlet of the dam250b (1024x683) 287b (1024x683)
Looking across lake Pukaki at Mt Cook– not a great shot due to the sun shining directly at us, but we missed seeing it from the Lake Matheson side
