The Sheepdog Memorial

When watching the beautiful scenery of Lake Tekapo, when shocked by the beautiful milk blue of the lake, and intoxicated by the rustic mixed gray of the church, don't forget the strong black shepherd statue. 100 meters east of the Shepherd Church stands a sculpture of a sheepdog built in 1968, which is to remember the sheepdog's contribution to the development of livestock in the surrounding area, as the nameplate says: without a sheepdog, there is no McKenzie today. Standing on the stone seat, the sheepdog, looking firmly into the lake, as if waiting for the return of the master, and seems to be aftertaste for the shepherd's heart to do his best years and months.

Originally the scenery is already very beautiful Lake Tikapo because of the existence of the good shepherd church and a lot of tourists often only around the church to take pictures, but ignore not far from there is actually a Shepherd sculpture, it is the origin of the church name. Walking along the small stone road, the blue lake is really beautiful when the weather is good. Because there is an angle to go uphill, it seems that there is a cute dog waiting for the owner to return. The sculpture is not big, standing on a base of several stones, and the blue sky and white clouds distant mountains ice lake constitute a very wonderful picture.

On the side of the empty snow-capped lake, the collie statue is so lonely like the Good Shepherd Church. Fortunately, they happened to have a companion, facing Lake Tekapo during the day and bathing the sky with stars at night!
