About our cover photo – is it real?

How did we get this photo of Kingfisher on the Hauraki Gulf with no other boats to be seen?
Yes, it is a real photograph that Liz took but we did use a.i. to add the boat to it. Why is the gulf empty? The answer is Covid 19. The original photo is below. Liz took it in 2020 from North Head, Devonport when Auckland was in lock down. The only time ever that you would see the Hauraki Gulf without a boat in sight on such a gorgeous day.
