Friday Fotos – Lake Te Anau in New Zealand

June 26, 2020 By Terry

Sunset at Te Anau Bird Refuge — This is Lake Te Anau at sunset. The Murchison Mountains across the lake hid one of the last populations of the takahē, a bird native to New Zealand. The bird sanctuary here is home to almost a dozen different bird populations.

Welcome to Lake Te Anau, the home to this magnificent lake in New Zealand. We had a single night stop here and were scheduled to go to the bird sanctuary the following day. For this evening, after we’d had a fabulous dinner, we decided we needed to walk off all those calories. Our walk was easy, just across the road and then along a path. This is such an amazing and peaceful place. Enjoy the view!

Milford Sound surrounded by towering peaks — As we neared the end of our journey of Milford Sound, the incoming clouds provided one last postcard photo op.

Approaching the falls at Milford Sound — I found a spot on the front of the boat as we neared the falls. Didn’t give up until the spray became dangerous to my camera’s health!

Welcome to Arrowtown, New Zealand — One of our stops on our land tour of New Zealand was in Arrowtown. This quaint little tourist trap has charisma galore!

Devonport is a seaside town on an island in New Zealand with the look of an old village. The architecture of many homes and shops is classic.

New Zealand Fur Seal — This fur seal woke up when we cruised by and did a little stretch.

Like a sentry guarding the door — This sculpture caught my attention during our walkabout in Devonport, New Zealand

Meet the Moa — That is one big bird. The moa once flourished in New Zealand, but the Maori and other forces brought it to extinction.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
