Auckland – Tamaki Makaurau
Auckland – our cityAuckland is an unusual city. It has 51 dormant volcanoes, world famous beaches within 25 minutes or so drive, and yet as a city – it seems to have no specific character. It is the largest Polynesian city in the world. It was the seat of the original colonial government of this land, Aotearoa.
Unusual view of Auckland’s [in]famous Skytower – hovering over a huge casino – it somehow does not define Auckland at all for this set of eyes, but it looked sinister that night wrapped as it was in purple clouds.
Auckland was once a place of extraordinary beauty but mushroomed with suburban explosions through the second half of the twentieth century.How is this city, Auckland, your home?
I love the link that is specific to AucklandPoetry… as you will see from my ‘postings’ Auckland’s people, places and diversity is never far from my heart… Hope you enjoy my penning… this city, my home sees me coming at it …One Peace at a time…
