100 from New Zealand, a photo from Auckland, North Island

Photographer's Note

This is my 100th post from New Zealand. As a farewell to this beautiful country Maori culture, something that was for me the most important on this trip.
On the upper pictures the Maori couple. In other photos the views of the Hotunui - an entire large carved meeting house built in 1878 at Thames.

The Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira is one of New Zealand's most important museums and war memorials. Its collections concentrate on New Zealand history (and especially the history of the Auckland Region), natural history, and military history.

The museum is also one of the most iconic Auckland buildings, constructed in the neo-classicist style, and sitting on a grassed plinth (the remains of a dormant volcano) in the Auckland Domain, a large public park close to the Auckland CBD.

The museum houses a large collection of Māori and Pacific Island artefacts, including Hotunui(an entire large carved meeting house built in 1878 at Thames), and Te Toki a Tapiri - a Māori war canoe from 1830 carved by Te Waaka Perohuka.
I hope you will find it interesting.

The reason that I posted so many pictures from this trip is that it was rather exhausting financially, very far and after that, I spent more than five months at home without traveling! Incredible. But now I start the autumn excursion season.

Bigger beta picture

For Gert, the picture in Workshop. Another scene from the Museum: The names

Interesting presentation with these two views about Maori culture. Excellent sharpness and light management, perfect to see all these details, tfs.

Hello Malgo,
A most splendid collage that does Maori art and culture full justice. All perfectly exposed with superb colours and clarity. A pity to say goodbye to your pictures from New Zealand, a place I have never visited and probably never will now. But, we have the pleasure of looking forward to the photographs captured during your next adventures.

Hello Malgo,
Thank you! I have had a few main photos dedicated to me before, but never specifically a WS: ;-) I probably would have taken a similar photo if I had been there. I would probably have taken similar photos to all these, but being such a stubborn people photographer I may not have posted them on TE, so I am glad you did. They are all very interesting, and maybe the finest examples of Maori art that you have shown here. Wonderful treasures, captivating shapes and patterns and good colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Malgo

Ce fut tellement un beau voyage qu'il valait au moins 100 photos et je crois bien que tu en as plusieurs autres en réserve. Un triptyque qui en montre vraiment beaucoup.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Malgo,

This has been a very successful, photographic trip for you and for us, for we have been able to share your experiences via your photographs.
The Maoris and their culture has to be high on the list of pleasing results.
These last glimpses of their character and art make a sad farewell to something that has been so enjoyable!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Malgo,
Some beautiful Maori culture for your 100th New Zealand photo. The wood carvings of the house are gorgeous and are such an impressive work of art. You captured them most clearly with an excellent level of detail and very nice and warm colours.

Hi Malgo

Yep sometimes you need a break and a short holiday from a long holiday. Intricate wood carving here showing a lot of skill. The 5 tiki columns are very different from Greco-Roman styles. I was impressed with Auckland Museum. The war canoe there was great too. Tfs!

LuisGustavoLima (5184) 2018-09-21 18:45

Oi, Malgo!

Por um erro, não dei os pontos devidos em minha última crítica a você, me desculpe! Sobre essa colagem de fotos, ela é bem interessante e conceitual. As esculturas são lindíssimas. Luz, nitidez e saturação perfeitas.
Parabéns!

sacimar (38171) 2018-09-24 5:17

Hello Malgo,

Best regards,

Sergio

Hello, dear Malgo! Are you in Uzbekistan? My congratulations on your 100th post from New Zealand. I can't close my eyes, I want to look to the patterns more and more. Just fantastic combination of the graphic and colors.
Have a great trip! Horezm, Samarkand, Buhara sound great fro my ears. Best! Serghei
