"Lake Tekapo (Māori: Takapō) is the second-largest of three roughly parallel lakes running north–south along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin in the South Island of New Zealand (the others are Lake Pukaki and Lake Ōhau). It covers an area of 83 km2 (32 sq mi) and is at an altitude of 710 m (2,330 ft) above sea level."

At the time I visiting, it's lupine in season. What a joy to see them all over the place. I believe NZ has a plan to it, which is an invasive plant.
