Photograph of Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand

Lake Wakatipu New ZealandNew Zealand offers some of the finest scenery in the world for landscape photography. I had the privilege of growing up there, but have only recently seen much of its most beautiful places going back to my homeland as a tourist visiting from my adopted home of California.

One of the most popular, and now in my opinion a "victim of its own success", is Queenstown, an alpine resort town sitting on the edge of Lake Wakatipu.

This photograph of Lake Wakatipu was taken from Highway 6 en route from Queenstown to Kingston which is located at the southern end of the lake. The photo was taken about half-way from a view point at the side of the road.
