EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cape Reinga lighthouse stands proudly at the far northern end of New Zealand's North Island, a beacon of light and hope for sailors navigating the treacherous waters of the Tasman Sea. Built in 1941, this historic structure has witnessed countless ships passing by on their journeys across the ocean.
In 1987, the lighthouse became fully automated, marking the end of an era as the dedicated lighthouse keepers were withdrawn from their post. Despite its modernization, Cape Reinga remains steeped in Maori beliefs and mythology.
According to legend, Cape Reinga is where the spirits of the dead begin their journey into the underworld. It is said that they leap off an ancient Kahika tree that has stood for over 800 years, symbolizing a passage from this world to the next.
This stunning print captures not just a picturesque view of a coastal landscape but also a glimpse into history and tradition. The lush green grass leading up to the lighthouse creates a sense of serenity and peace, while also hinting at deeper mysteries hidden within these sacred grounds.
As you gaze upon this image, let yourself be transported to a place where myth meets reality and where nature's beauty intertwines with spiritual significance. Cape Reinga is more than just a landmark – it is a gateway between worlds.
