Hinemoa in the Sun by deanimator



"Hinemoa", the Maori name for "The Lady of the Lake". Lake Wanaka. New Zealand. This is one of the most photographed trees in the world, and has become a magnet for photographers. This was taken shortly after sunrise, at the end of a long, dry summer. Normally the lake levels are a bit higher, and the tree is reflected beautifully in the serene and often misty waters. If you want to photograph Hinemoa, be early and be patient. There are usually a dozen others here all jostling for the best position. The evening before, we all had to wait for a Chinese couple who had flown here just to have their wedding photos taken with this as the backdrop. via 500px http://ift.tt/1zEbc9Y
