Maoris say hello by pressing their noses together in a greeting called hongi. In Maori mythology, New Zealand’s South Island is the canoe from which a mighty ancestor, Maui, hauled the fish-shaped North Island out of the sea.

Schweeb: Human-Powered Monorail Flies Through the Skies
A bunch of entrepreneuring New Zealanders has created just such a human-powered monorail system, known as the Shweeb. Their creation does double duty, acting not just as an innovative transportation system, but also an amusement ride. Are our cities the next step?

“Royal Albatross Approaching” by Jay J. Johnson.
Artist’s Comments: “For me the gift of flight is what makes birds so fascinating, and the Royal Albatross is a phenomenal creature to watch as it cruises the air currents above the vast ocean waters. I observed these albatross in New Zealand where a nesting colony lures them briefly back to earth from their 11,000 mile wanderings upon nine foot wingspans across the southern seas.”
