Aotearoa...

Aotearoa is the maori name for New Zealand and means the' Land of the long white cloud'.. and as I was driving down the road today could really see how we got this name.. we had just had some very heavy rain and after it cleared this very white cloud was skimming over the river hills...

Definitely represents the name well. Nice shot.

Cool composition and very interesting weather info. I can understand how that would happen and so neat that your area has the perfect topography to have that happen!

A beautiful illustration Julz, I always love the transalation of Aotearoa to The Land of the Long White Cloud, so dreamy & you often see long white clouds so it fits.

I love the cloud draped across the hills - it makes a lovely photo. The translation of Aotearoa describes it beautifully!
