The best sunrises and sunsets on Earth

I had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy Lake Tekapo for two weeks and I couldn't recommend it more. In summer, there's nothing better than a refreshing splash in the lake. I was at a lodge in front of the lake, only 50 feet from Good Shepard Church, and it was unforgettable. There were tons of beautiful gardens for a walk, great fishing, and one of the world's best observatories (that on Mt. John). Even if you're not a star-watcher, make sure to visit the peak of Mt. John to enjoy some of the best sunrises and sunsets on Earth. You can't miss it!

Marvel at the stars

I was lucky enough to spend a warm Christmas in Lake Tekapo, 2 hours from Timaru on the South Island, very close to Mount Cook. It is a small town where you can do watersports, helicopter rides, or marvel at the stars from the observatory on Mount John. The color of the water is like something out of a science fiction movie!

Wonderful place

One of the most beautiful places on earth to take some landscape photographies. Don't forget to pass on the Church of the Good Shepherd, to do some shots by night. :)
