Lake Pukaki was the location for Laketown in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Glacial waters feed into the lake, giving it its beautiful blue colour.

I am acquainted with the Hobbit series yet I have never seen them...however, this is a beautiful location to film this movie and your capture is awesome...thank you, Lyn, for this marvelous submission for SNATM!

With your kind permission, Lyn, I'm going to pass this one along to my eldest son, a big LOTR fan (then again, so am I), so mahalo, mihi koe, and whakamihi.
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.
Great picture here too..
