Long White Cloud
The most widely accepted Maori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa, often translated as “Land of the long white cloud”.
The other day when I was on top of Mount Albert, I caught sight of that cloud, as shown above. Obviously, there were a few other clouds casting their shadows at the time.

I love your long, white cloud, Paul, and your gorgeous blue skies!! What I wouldn’t give for some more of those like we had yesterday!! But they’re gone today and we’re back to GRAY! Terrific capture as always! Have a great weekend!

Corgeous fluffy cluds with flat bottoms. The clouds and sky are a lovely contrast to the dark green foliage. So this is what Auckland looks like from above!
