'Tumu Herenga Waka' is a modern sculpture made up of important traditional Maori elements of welcome, invitation, journey and discovery. It is inspired by traditional palisade posts once seen surrounding traditional Maori pa by visitors as they approached. These posts (tuwatawata) have been gathered together to form a tumu herenga waka, or canoe tethering post. Auckland Zoo. 200_2_P1030217

In a varied and busy photo collection which focuses on many other subjects, I do not have time to record motor vehicles in the way which is done effectively by other contributors. I do like, however, to picture some in an additional context. This picture of a Mazda 2 at Auckland Zoo shows it offered as a prize for the person who can guess the number of meerkats inside. I should say these were toys as the prize does not include the pre-delivery valet which might otherwise be necessary. 200_2_P1030203
