Must be Wedding Season

 


Yes, it's always time for a wedding pics. No info on this slide, but looking at the sign on the back, I think one says "Greetings and Best Wishes for the Mayor and Citizens of Lyttleton New Zealand 1967"

What better reason to wrap a dead, skinned furry animal around your shoulders and meet the Bride in the frilly frilled dress.

Maori Concern Tonight

As usual, there was no info on the slide, but as you will recall, my knowledge of New Zealand Culturally-significant locations is very rusty.

Nevertheless, I suspect that this is the Tamatekapua meeting house, named after the captain of the Arawa, one of the voyaging canoes that brought the ancestors of Māori to New Zealand.

Maybe.  Te Papaiouru Marae

Bonus - Sheesh.   Some people !!!

Putting on show at Maori after concert

...which helps a little.

Maori Maidens


Yes, I could launch into a series of politically incorrect slurs, but that's not my style. However...I do like the Tiki arch keystone features.
Bonus - Well.... I'm stunned. I would have thought that Cerebus The Aardvark was the definition of obscure cult comics. But...there's going to be a movie ?!
