According to the Lonely Planet guide book, views of Mount Cook's and Mount Tasman's reflections in Lake Matheson are one of those picture-perfect landscapes that you find in New Zealand. Looks like they were right.
We went to the lake just after sunrise. The early birds were rewarded with beautiful morning scenery of the New Zealander countryside...
Up in the clouds, Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, followed closely by Mount Tasman, next to it.
Cook 'n' Tasman.
Upside down or right way up? I like playing with mirror lakes.
Then we decided to have breakfast after our morning walk. As the sun was out, we hung our clothes on the car (they were soaked after the previous day's rain), making it look like some free laundry service provider. Unfortunately, a few minutes after we'd completed our beautiful post-Christmas car decoration, it started to rain... Unlucky.
