Ngātokimatawhaorua under the Milky Way
An image shot for the Waitangi Treaty Grounds (a site of NZ historic significance). The craft (Ngātokimatawhaorua), the largest waka in NZ & a national treasure, was photographed on Waitangi Day, and blended in. I hope to create a scene of what it may have been like for the 1st Maori arriving to NZ.
