This gorgeous (and world famous) willow tree is on most photographer's bucket list if they're touring the South Island and it was on mine for my July trip. Then in March I heard the news that some mindless degenerate had attacked the tree with a saw and hacked off the branch that often dipped into the lake. However much of a cliche this shot may have become I was disgusted and equally disappointed that I'd never get my own version of it. I went there anyway to get what I could and this is the result. As far as I'm concerned the tree is still iconic and of course the backdrop that made it famous is still as spectacular as ever. I appreciate the Instagram made this scene both loved and hated around the world but I'd say this to the imbecile that damaged it...go and have a long hard look at yourself in the mirror mate...you've got issues!
