This canal is part of the Upper Waitaki power scheme, which links about four lakes along the Waitaki River in the central South Island. This one runs between Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki, the first and second lakes in the system. The scheme is one of the largest engineering projects ever undertaken in this country. A recent attempt to expand it was canned due to a number of issues (some political, some technical, some geological). The power company owns the road that runs next to this canal, and allows public access. It's a longer drive than the publically-owned road, but is more scenic. Further along the canal there is the Mount Cook Salmon Farm, which is apparently the worlds highest. If your wallet is weighing you down, you can take a scenic helicopter tour from there. http://www.tekapohelicopters.co.nz/Flight.htm - Dave ======== Lovely shot, simply lovely.
