In the evening we got to Castle Hill, a hill on which hundreds of various stones, similar to the ruins of an ancient stronghold, are comfortably located. This place attracts climbers (bouldering), and local tribes call it "Kura Tauhiti" — "a treasure from a distant country." If you look closely, you can find ancient charcoal drawings here, and if you look closely at the film The Chronicles of Narnia, you can see these places there.
While spring is in full swing in the northern hemisphere, autumn begins in New Zealand and the leaves on the trees turn yellow. What a contrast they make with snow-capped mountains and hills, just about half an hour away!
Turquoise Lake Tekapo (Lake Tekapo) — it's hard to believe that such a color of water can be without chemical additives, but no, the color is due to the glacial origin of the lake.
And on its shore stands the Church of the Good Shepherd, one of the most photographed buildings in New Zealand.
And this is Lake Pukaki and the famous Mount Cook (left one), the very one that was eaten. Locals call the mount Aoraki — "Big White Cloud". But this time, the clouds above it parted and the top was absolutely clear.
What beautiful stars are there in these places! Just dress warmer when you go to look at them, do not repeat my mistakes)
In the morning I did not believe in a beautiful dawn at all. Imagine a drizzling rain that began in the morning, a cloudy sky and a strong wind. I went out in the dark, stood and rubbed my sleepy eyes. I wanted to turn back already, but suddenly noticed a color smear above the mountains. Wow, it starts! So I ran, put the camera on a tripod and watched the color extravaganza for about ten minutes. And then someone clicked on the switch and returned the gray to the world.
