A winter view of the mountains above Lake Tekapo,MacKenzie Basin, New Zealand.
The Church of The Good Shepherd is a popular place for photographers and you can see small figure with a camera in this photo.
This area was declared an International Dark Sky Reserve in 2012, and is the largest in the world.
I have posted a shot of the view from the church window HERE
Comments always welcome :)

Very interesting to see the five different layers Lyn. The icy cliffs just above the brown earth and green trees is very unusual. A wonderfil capture!

Really dramatic shot and the smallness of that church compared to the mountain really shows up.

Super entry, Lyn...the way that massive mountain dwarfs the trees and building really makes this a dramatic scene...best of luck in the contest.

Unique shot - the only one with a snow covered mountain and an un-frozen lake in the foreground.

Unique and stunning. A classic winning combination!
