I finally managed to do some photography on Sunday, along with dog walking, and teenager delivery duties.

The Wairau River is the largest river in the Marlborough District. Here at Spring Creek it represents a major flood risk to the small community so major flood protection engineering has been undertaken on both banks to contain the river.

Not content to just photograph a lake that's so remote that fewer than 50 people ever get to visit it each year, I actually got in the lake with a waterproof camera, and photographed it with the camera partially submerged (and me in up to the neck to avoid being eaten alive by sandflies).
I think some of the photos I took with my DSLR from dry land are better, but given the epic mission to get here, I've reserved what I think is the best full-HD image for my Patreon, (https://www.patreon.com/posts/lake-mccrae-125636143 )
Obviously for a 3 day trek over a high mountain pass, I took many other photos, but may get paid to write up the adventure, so I need to wait before I share any other photos.
