Lake Wanaka, Central Otago, New Zealand.
The name Wanaka is a corruption of Oanaka, which means “place of Anaka”, Anaka being the name of an early Maori chief of the district. The lake is 27 miles long, 928 ft above sea level and more than 1,000 ft deep.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

That tree looks great and it gives the image more depth too. Nice presentation of this lovely scene Lyn.

Stunning Lyn - perfectly composed with the tree adding greatly to the scene. Faved and saved.

Beautifully done, I like how the tree adds depth, gives it a 3D effect. Tigs♥ =^..^=

1,000 feet? Oy! And I thought Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park was deep at 473 feet. Those two trees on the shore seem to me like a father and child:

"Can I go in swimming, dad?"

"No, son. You're young and full of sap"

"So?"

"So you'll sink to the bottom and then we'll never find you."

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Nice composition. I like the tree placement and the shadow. Great mountainous background as well.

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?
