Lake-Rotoiti

A flooded Lake Rotoiti after heavy rains in Nelson.

The end of Lake Rotoiti’s jetty is a popular photography spot for visitors to the Nelson Lakes. But very occasionally, it disappears entirely.

“After a big storm event in the Nelson Lakes National Park, the water in Lake Rotoiti was so high that the boat ramp and signage were flooded. It was a rare opportunity to capture this scene in a different way. I got this image once the clouds and fog cleared to reveal fresh snow on the mountains, which were reflected beautifully in the lake,” said Jennifer.
