Day 277 // Manapouri Magic

Another stunning lake on New Zealand's South Island / West Coast, this time Lake Manapouri in the late afternoon sun. Was a very windy afternoon - love to see this spot on a still, early morning.

 

From wikipedia: Lake Manapouri is a lake in the South Island of New Zealand. Its name is Maori for "sorrowful heart", though this name is misapplied due to an early cartographical error (the real Lake Manapouri was North Mavora Lake, which lies some distance to the east). Local Maori called Lake Manapouri Moturau, which means "many islands".

 

Looks better on black, large, so press "L".
