Twizel Reflections.

I think Twizel is a very much unrated little town in NZ, its no Queenstown or Lake Tekapo, but its got a genuine salt of the earth feel to it where it seems people are not pretentious. Could just be me and preferring to be in a place with less tourists (yes I know the irony of that since I am one). A shout out to the local kids who rock up in town for hot chips wearing shorts… i suppose it was a barmy 4 degrees… 😉

During our ( Rodney Campbell ) stay here we tried a bunch of food places and it was nice to have a great variety, from the local bakery to a more upmarket cafe (Mint Cafe – good coffee there) and the local street food stalls, of which the pizza one was so popular it sold out by the time we got there.

Its also a popular salmon fishing/farming place, hence I think i may have eaten my yearly share of salmon while I was there, burgers to breakfast and dinner…

These shots were taken on the second wind of the first sunrise we had there, we had hit the Lake Poaka for some reflections but could see some nice fog still sitting around the town, hence we made a dash back to the local town lake (Lake Ruataniwha) to smash some reflections, this was just the start of chasing the location which had the best and most still reflections…
