It's been a while since I have been down to 'The Landing' early morning. Not as early as I would of liked as the sun was a little higher than I would of preferred but still liked the mist skimming the water and around the reeds..
Today is a National holiday Matariki.. which celebrates the Maori New Year as a cluster of stars is seen at this time of year and it celebrates 'new beginnings' and also remembering those that have past.
Gorgeous capture, and interesting to learn about that Maori holiday. We spent some time in New Zealand years back with some Maori friends but had not heard of Matariki.
@bjywamer It has only become a national holiday in the last 3 years.. date changes every year as it depends on the location of the stars. But it does fall on a long weekend!
The light is perfect in my opinion Julz! It’s a lovely use of it behind the grasses….nit sure what they are but grasses will do. Big fave. First time I have heard of that holiday too but a long weekend from school for Max.
