Ahi Ka

There are very definite rewards for getting up at stupid o’clock, not once but twice, in one week. 

It’s Matariki/Māori New Year and getting up before dawn to see the stars of Matariki is becoming more popular.

The view from work on Monday morning after being up at Tangi Te Keo/Mt Victoria.

Gathering around the fire on the foreshore this morning with the extended whānau of Hikoikoi where we weave. 

The words around the amazing fire pit are the names of the 9 stars of the Matariki cluster.
