A place that doesn't need any introduction. Im sure you all know the name of this iconic place right? No? How about a clue? ;) It's the most photographed church in South Island of New Zealand. The usual first stop coming from Christchurch. Still no? It's the Church of the Good Shepherd, located in Lake Tekapo.

This image was taken way back autumn of 2014. Golden hour light just exploded. Everyone was running around going crazy. After taking a few frames from the lake, i know that i need to return to this spot for the church backlit shot! I can still vividly remember sprinting in my waders hahahah. Besides, who would forget a light like this? Definitely one for the books. And oh, can you spot Iurie and the gang? ;)
