Clear waters by maggiemae

Clear waters

From the motorbike event in Invercargill we travelled up the centre of the a South as land to a place at the bottom of a huge lake called Wakitipu- actually not at the bottom but beside the lower arm of the lake! A place called Kingston. Our holiday home was right beside the lake and this was a jetty just a bit further on! The lake has very steep sided mountains on either side.

Three good things:
1 finally come back into the world of Internet - not the date here but several days later.
2 took loads of photos of course! The bird ones ratchet but scenery is just lovely around here!
3 it is so quiet here you can hear the skylarks!
oh my! such gorgeous light and vibrant colour! nice change from the cold icy's we're getting here... beautifully captured!

Your crystal clear waters are always some memory I take back home maggiemae......the first time we saw turquoise rushing clear water at Rakaia Gorge was amazing.
How wonderful to swim in these waters!! Just lovely.

Just checked out where you where...it does look very remote. Wondering if you travelled up to Queenstown or is that too touristy for you natives|?

Lovely. Kingston is a sweet place. My nana used to take me there on the Kingston Flyer sometimes when it stopped at Balfour. They did day trips to Kingston and I guess all the way back down to Invercargill sometimes.
