After a long drive from Wanaka, I finally had the opportunity to photographs this magnificent view of Lake Matheson during the sunset, since I was travelling alone and fatigue, thus I'm only able to go to the nearest spot which is about 30 minutes walk from the carpark. Nevertheless, I'm still satisfied and enjoyed this breathtaking view.

The waters of Lake Matheson are dark brown, so on a calm day they create the ideal reflective surface. The colour is caused by natural leaching of organic matter from the surrounding native forest floor. By a happy coincidence, the mountains to the east are perfectly positioned to reflect in the lake.
Lake Matheson was formed about 14,000 years ago, when the Fox Glacier retreated from its last major advance towards the sea and left a depression which later filled with water.
