Happy 10,000th day! Quite an impressive canoe you found there. Is that really wood? Where did you find this?

You give us a new perspective on NZ every day. Thank you!

Happy Birthday!

This is one of my favourite's. I love primitive style art. Well done. You can feel all the power of this carved Maori ready to go for a crazy adventure on the Pacific !

Happy birthday you old lad ! You are 1419 days less than me ! So few in fact...

The figurehead of the canoe is the total opposite of the old european's : we used to have a nice girl watching the horizon, while this one is a man lying on the back.

Happy Birthday, Aaron. Very impressive picture. The whole canoe must be massive.

Only 10,000 - my you are a young one!

The Maori have an amazing tradition - can't wait to visit and learn more about them! Nice capture on the carving - hard to get a sense of scale here.

10 000 days on earth, happy times, it would be impressive to see a break down of where all those days were spent by Country.

Cool picture, the detail is great.

This "little Woody" is holding his tummy like he ate something bad! Maybe too much wallabee...
