Happy Aniversary Auckland
Posted on 30 January 2011
Fireworks to celebrate the Auckland Anniversary tonight.
Auckland’s anniversary celebrates the arrival of William Hobson, later the first Governor of New Zealand, in the Bay of Islands in 1840. Funny enough this date doesn’t have any significance to Auckland itself but has been celebrated every year since 1841

A perfect photo! I need to learn how to shoot fireworks. I opened the NYTimes paper this morning which has a full two page spread on New Zealand and the adventurous souls who live there!
Congrats, Auckland! Looks like an exciting, explosive time! Celebrate!
Congratulations and Happy Aniversary from me too! The picture is great!
