The Devils Bridge Wetland Lagoon, North Otago, New Zealand.
Previously an ephemeral lake, since the installation of a weir the area has become a permanent lagoon protected by a QEII covenant.
There is a "disappearing stream" in the limestone rocks on the right of this photo where the water drains into an underwater cave system. It provides important habitat for many wetland bird species.
This is on private land and the walking track around the lagoon was constructed by the land owner and volunteers, along with many plantings.
It is open to the public free of charge. We spent a peaceful time walking the track last Friday, and were the only humans there.

Room to breathe and no one in sight.
A wonderful and tranquil photograph, Lyn.
If the distance wasn't that far, I certainly had done a stroll there, 😁 !

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

It looks to be a good place for quiet contemplation, something so dear to the human spirit and psyche today. I saw it yesterday as a thumbnail, in the Jobs panel for acceptance, and was tempted to open it there, it looked so refreshing, but decided to wait until it was in my view queue, as a pleasant surprise, so to speak. I enjoy these sorts of places (a little more if I could get my kayak to fit in it) and am always up for a panoramic photo. Cheers!
