Sky Tower with Maori Ancestors

Sky Tower Casino and Maori ancestor

As I mentioned in a previous post, the Sky Tower Casino has dominated the Auckland skyline since 1997. Before that it was the Harbour Bridge, Westhaven yacht marina, One Tree Hill, and Rangitoto Island that were the varied icons of the Auckland I recall. The interior decor of the casino features Maori motifs and these lastest works I have put together express the question: "What do the ancestors think"?
