The Church of the Good Shepherd is a church on the shores of Lake Tekapo, on the South Island, New Zealand.
Lake Tekapo is an amazingly beautiful natural wonder known for its vibrant surrounding landscapes. The color of the water is due to the fact that Lake Tekapo is replenished with melt water from glaciers, and is itself a lake of glacial origin. This gives it a nice shade of blue. The Godley and Macaulay rivers flow into the Tekapo in the north, and the Mistake and Cass rivers in the west. But the main attraction is the Church of the Good Shepherd. It stands on the very shore of the lake, at the mouth of the Tekapo River.
Small but beautiful building, constructed with local granite stone the church is arguably one of the most photographed in New Zealand.
