skywatch Friday: Autumn in Auckland




http://skyley.blogspot.com/



This was such a beautiful autumn sun set in the Southern Hemisphere in New Zealand when most of you are having spring. Taken from my dining room window.

It looks like the eruption of a volcano in my backyard. My mind is not that imaginative. I am teaching my kids how Fire came to Samoa. It tells of how a boy Ti'iti'i wrestled with the Earthquake God Mafui'e who resided in a volcano and Ti'iti'i won and Mafui'e told him the secret.

I even made up a ditty for the kids, and they love it when they rub with two sticks.


Rub! Rub! Rub!
Rub! Rub! Rub!
Rub! Rub! Rub!

Now I get fire.
Now I eat yummy food.

We always remember about old friends when sitting beside the sunset.

The atmosphere has this power.
