Lake Tutira

Lake Tutira by murrayneill.
Just north of Napier is little lake Tutira. It was a great find during my cycle-tour. There is free camping on its shores. Being on a bike I got the best spot in the place. A grassy little bluff under huge oak tree that the buses and camper vans couldn't drive to. I rode my bike up there through the trees, and pitched my tent so I got this exact view from my tent door.
The lake was bursting with bird-life including more black swans than I could count.
I had an early start the next morning and when I was packing up the lake was covered in a thick mist. It began to lift and the sun leaked through as I rode around the west shoreline to continue my journey north (into some of the meanest hills I encountered the whole 3 weeks on the road.)
