Roy's Peak is near the quiet town of Wanaka in New Zealand, which lies on Lake Wanaka in Mt Aspiring National Park. From the top of Roys Peak, you have an insane view of Lake Wanaka and the beautiful mountains around it. You can only take this photo if you walk the Roys Peak track. An easy trail, with lots of altimeters (1300 metres), takes you to the top. I started walking at 03:30 at night to be at the top during sunrise for an insanely beautiful view and spectacle of the first rays of the sun on the mountains and the lake. One of the most serene places in New Zealand, this image will take most people who have travelled through New Zealand all the way back to that time and the most beautiful places in this country. Because what an insanely beautiful country this is. Of course, you will want to have something of that on your wall at home.
