Live Unedited Shots + Photo Spots Inside! 🇳🇿✨

Today in Wanaka was absolute magic—so beautiful it felt like a dream! 😱 No filters, no edits, just raw, jaw-dropping scenery straight from my live photos. You have to see it to believe it! If you’re visiting New Zealand in November , do NOT miss Wanaka’s famous “Lone Tree” 🌳—it’s even more stunning in person. And guess what? The lupins are in full bloom too! They’re supposed to last about a month, so you’ll get that perfect pop of purple, pink, and blue against the lake—total postcard vibes! 💜🌸 📷 Must-Try Photo Spots (Save These!) 1️⃣ Head about 100 meters to the right of the Lone Tree along the lakeshore. Use the blooming lupins as your foreground—they frame the tree and the turquoise lake perfectly. Every shot here looks like a painting! 🎨 2️⃣ Walk another 100 meters (so 200 meters total from the Lone Tree) to the right. In the evening, fluffy willow catkins drift down to the water—use them as a soft, romantic background. So ethereal! 🌬️ Best Time to Shoot: Around 7 PM! The golden hour light hits the lake just right, turning the water into a shimmering blue gem. Your photos will glow! 🌅 💡 Quick Tip for Travelers Most restaurants and supermarkets here close around 10 PM**, so don’t leave dinner too late! Grab a meal early (try local seafood or a cozy café bite) so you don’t end up hungry after chasing sunsets. 😋 #NewZealandTravel #NewZealand #NewZealandLive #TravelNotJustForCheck-Ins #LivePhotosHaveMoreVibe #LiveIsAlsoLife #WhyLivePhotosMatter
