Some Maori Culture.

 I just loved these reflections in the windows of the hotel opposite our room in Auckland. Parts of these may well end up in some artwork.

              Our first introduction to Maori culture was a visit to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.

                  The meeting house with it's fascinating carvings that faces the wrong way!

 Inside the meeting house where we enjoyed looking at all the intricate carvings and the woven panels around the room. The seating and stage are for various performances that take place here.

                                   I loved the colours and patterns used in these woven panels.
