A last look from the terrace of our room at the Whare Kea Lodge


The Whare Kea Lodge is a magical place in New Zealand's Southern Alps (South Island). Its lounge, walled in glass from floor to ceiling, is like the bridge of a ship floating on Lake Wanaka, taking in the majestic grandeur of the Southern Alps. We spent three days there, and never tired of admiring the massif of Mount Aspiring under various lights. This was the last morning, on a slightly overcast day, and a soothing and gentle light on this tableau was urging us to stay in this haven of peace and beauty.

Two days earlier, on a bright sunny morning, the light was so different ... Even the moon looked sharp ...
