Anita is right, this is the famous Wanaka tree - lake Wanaka - New Zealand.
After spending several days in Australia as a presenter during the Gems of the Outback conference (superbly organized by our PamB) we went to New Zealand for a few days in the southern island. This was one of the super locations where I wanted to get some great shots and weather has been a good friend during that fantastic morning!

A very interesting and beautiful entry for this challenge. My eye went immediately to the tree but the surroundings highlight the subject. Great capture. Wish I was there.
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the warm yellows and cool whites. I really want to go visit that little spot of land back behind the tree. I'm convinced that fairies live there.
A very famous tree on the most gorgeous Lake Wanaka. I would have to say that this is one of the most gorgeous lakes I've ever seen. I've photographed this during the day, but you seem to have captured this during the golden hour- well done!
