One view of the Auckland, New Zealand waterfront taken from the harbour. The impressive skyscraper in the centre of the image is the Vero Centre . This image was captured in January 2001, a year after the Vero Centre was completed. The photograph was taken with an APS compact film camera with the positive then scanned into a computer to create a digital image file. New Zealand certainly lives up to its description as the land of the long white clouds.
