14 Faves within the hour!

This postcard of Lake Pukaki (another of the wonderful Sisson range) arrived in the Netherlands earlier today. Within an hour of it being Registered on Postcrossing, it had 14 faves, making it my 2nd most popular card. I wish my handdrawn cards would do so well but one cannot argue, this is a beautiful view of Mount Cook.

This view is from the eastern side, and makes a nice contrast to all the postcards featuring the mountain from the western side - over Lake Matheson. I visited Lake Matheson last week and it is indeed truly magnificant.

Here's my photo of it, postcard perfect!

I have about a dozen more photos of various lakes around the West Coast reflecting nicely. They're glacial lakes, so calm and still they're like a mirror. Beautiful!

Here's another (postcard that is, I'm not going to bore you with my snapshots):

Lake Matheson

New Zealand's most postcard featured lake. Here's another one, from the Craig Potton range.

Misty Mountains to Malaysia

This card is going to Malaysia - the person requested something from Lord of the Rings with a non "NZ Post" stamp.

It's Lake Matheson, looking over to Mount Cook and the Southern Alps (the "misty mountains" in LOTR). Seriously, Lake Matheson must be our most photogenic lake. I have quite a few postcards - from various companies, featuring it. Probably because you can get some awesome Southern Alps reflections in it.

Here's another:

And I have at least one more I haven't sent yet as well.
