| Lake Tekapo, New Zealand |
The village of Lake Tekapo is little more than a handful of buildings scattered along the highway between Queenstown and Christchurch, but as with most of New Zealand, the highlight is the outdoors.
Some come to admire the Southern Alps or swim in these glacial waters, but eventually everyone wanders down to this idyllic church
nestled on the shores of the lake
to witness what happens after the sun goes down.

The atmospheric conditions, as well as the absence of light pollution, provide some of the best star gazing on Earth.
This is just a glimpse of what you'll find on any clear night, a sight of such radiance that it's hard to believe it's real.
The village is also said to have some of the cleanest air in the Southern Hemisphere, all of which make Lake Tekapo a great stop for a couple of days of relaxation on a tour of New Zealand's South Island.
