Aotearoa 1 - New Zealand
My country is Aotearoa - Land of the Long White Cloud - more recently known as New Zealand. These paintings of Whai Repo (the North Island), a big part of Aotearoa - a beautiful place on earth in which to Be. See Gallery: Aotearoa II (South Island) also. Whai Repo is the 'Stingray', not someone asking you to go out and repossess a vehicle. If you look at Kiwiland from high up in the atmosphere you will see the Stingray - Northland is the Tail, the area around Wellington Harbour the Head, and Taranaki and East Cape the Fins. The Maori knew its shape long before satellites, otherwise they wouldn't have called it the Stingray.
[This gallery needs a lot of work, sorting and that sort of thing. To surf one of the other galleries - go to top left and CLICK ' > inanga >'].
Enough of the technical, sit back and enjoy Whai Repo (the Stingray) on your HD screen.

All Roads lead to Aotearoa
Hard to imagine that each icon depicted above involves a painting - but it does. A lot of travel - independent and for Lonely Planet - was behind this prolonged world tour. i like the way that the red lines linking the timeline feature seem to bring me home to Aotearoa.
