Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand and translates to 'Land of the long white cloud'
This is Wellington harbour. We recently had a short stay in Wellington and were fortunate to go sailing on a catamaran on this beautiful day.

Lyn, I was searching for the video of Isla Grant performing 'Aotearoa', but I couldn't find it on YouTube, only a covered version.
So I provide you with the lyrics (English version) of this song, because to me it describes perfectly this 'Earthly Paradise'.
Think it accompanies your wonderful capture perfectly.

Aotearoa the land that I love
Soft breezes blowing; Blue skies above
Friendly faces greet me; With eyes so true
Aotearoa more and more I love you

Each time I leave you; My heart seems to say
Oh Why must I leave you; why can't I stay
And walk by your ocean; So clear and so blue
Aotearoa Oh how I miss you

Aotearoa the land that I love
Soft breezes blowing; Blue skies above
Friendly faces greet me; With eyes so true
Aotearoa more and more I love you

I pray that someday; I will see you once more
To gaze at your mountains; that sweeps to the shore
Once more I see old friends; They are waiting for me
For land of the Long White Cloud; You're special to me

Aotearoa the land that I love
Soft breezes blowing; Blue skies above
Friendly faces greet me; With eyes so true
Aotearoa more and more I love you
