Lake Wanaka, NZ... by maggiemae

Lake Wanaka, NZ...

It was just more than 1/2 hour to drive to Wanaka to see what was happening after the recent floods. No damage but all the little creeks were full. We parked on the foreshore -views, plus good books. This was looking at the “TREE” that has become so famous! Not good at this time - too much water, too windy and not early morning. But I liked the background mountain which I have climbed many a time - perhaps 40 years ago!
Thankful for:
The quiet of our apartment overlooking another lake. No parties, screeching children, even the boats kept to the rules - 5km/hour - no wake!
Looks like the crowds are gathering though to photograph the tree... certainly more water than I have seen there around .. the tree..

The 'TREE' looks like the RSM on parade with his troops

@julzmaioro Ridiculous really! But a crowd pleaser, Julia

A very humourus analogy, Babs! That word is supposed to mean funny but have a problem - it might mean something to do with the humerus ! Perhaps it is all about the 'funny bone'!

Poor little tree standing there in all that water - but it must survive there . What has taken my eye is the stunning mountain behind the healthy looking trees with its beautiful colour hues and tones - so painterly !

The tree still looks pretty with its lighter colourings. It looks like a pretty day to be visiting the lake.
