Lake Tekapo: Alpine Serenity

#hellochristmas Lake Tekapo offers stunning alpine scenery in New Zealand's South Island. Its brilliant turquoise glacial water is framed by golden tussock and rugged mountains, with bursts of autumn color along the shore. A distinctive white footbridge crosses the outflow, adding a man-made element to the wild, majestic landscape. The clear skies complete the picturesque scene.
