Rangitoto: genesis
A number of Māori myths exist surrounding the island, including that of children of the Fire Gods.
After quarreling and cursing Mahuika, the fire-goddess, their home on the mainland was destroyed by Mataoho, god of earthquakes and eruptions on Mahuika's behalf. Lake Pupuke ( in North Shore City ) was created in the destruction, while Rangitoto rose from the sea. The mists surrounding Rangitoto at certain times are considered the tears of the Tupua couple for their former home.
Anyway it was raining today so now was a good time to think about how to portray the legend using traditional and modern photographic techniques .....
