Lake Tekapo, South Island, New Zealand
Yes! Yes! The water has really this color! Especially in summer. #laketekapo #purenewzealand #canterbury
One of the many breathtaking views of the South Island in New Zealand, this photo has been taken from Lake Tekapo.
Crossing paths with this captivating hidden gem reminded me of being mesmerized by the color of someone's eyes. I couldn't look away yet didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe I had found a slice of heaven on earth. #blue
