The stop at Waitaki dam was on the 11th of December 2025, as I wrap up my workload for the year before I traveled on the 19 of December to Benin 🇧🇯.
I was driving from Cromwell to Glenavy for work the following day. With all my frequent New Zealand travels, state highway 83 along lake Waitaki hasn't been a frequently used route.
So, I kept admiring the lake and had a quick stop at Waitaki dam for photos 📸. I recall being very tired also, so it was a brief refreshing stop as I was closing in on 40 000km drive from January to December last year.
It was a beautiful day, and it presented the opportunity for beautiful shots.
