The colour of the lake is really that colour.

The amazing turquoise blue colour of Lake Tekapo is created by "rock flour": the glaciers in the headwaters grind the rock into fine dust. These suspended particles in combination with the sunlight create Lake Tekapo's unique water colour. (1 year and 199 days ago)

I was luckier than that, the pano is taken from the deck of the cottage we stayed in. Reply »
