Nature’s Aquarelle Painting A soft sunset in New Zealand’s Maniototo plain is illuminating the distinctive landscape with its tonality reminiscent of a delicate watercolour painting. Lonely old farms and the smooth Hawkdun Range as a background, makes this area an artist’s favourite subject.

It turns out, the notion of an everlasting indestructible civilisation we inhabit is based on a promise.
