Helpful Posts: This is the same lake as shown in my Deep Purple thread. I had hoped to capture a reflection of Mount Cook/Tasman in the Lake surface. But as you will see from image 2, unfortunately I was too late in the morning to see a calm lake surface. These images were taken on our last day in that location so I didn't get the opportunity to revisit the location.

Re: Lake Matheson with Mounts Cook and Tasman
That must have been a beautiful place to go to. I like taking a peak of mountains behind the pines...pretty much like on the way to Colorado via Wyoming sceneries...mountains are very strong to photograph and you showed it here very well. I love both of them, no push, no pull really...

Re: Lake Matheson with Mounts Cook and Tasman
Nice shots Peter. Pity you didn't get reflection opportunities, I've seen some stunning photos from there with reflections. Sunrise may well be the best time but to get there I believe there is a bit of a walk ?

Re: Lake Matheson with Mounts Cook and Tasman
Dave thanks for taking time to look and comment. In answer to your question there is a circular walk around the Lake which isn't too difficult a walk it's mainly on the level and with board-walks in places over damp ground. There is a nice visitors centre with restaurant/snacks by the car parks.

I will just have to go back and spend more time in that area, in fact more time in NZ
