5th Face of March 2011

Tikitere, Rotorua

Holidaying at Rotoiti which is very close to Rotorua, I saw this Carved entrance way at Hell's Gate
http://www.hellsgate.co.nz/Hells-Gate/Home_IDL=4_IDT=591_ID=18896_.html
For more than 700 years, Rotorua Maori (Ngati Rangiteaorere tribe) have lived on this special site, treasured by Maori as a place of healing and revitalisation.
The first Europeans visited Hells Gate, Tikitere, Rotorua, more than 150 years ago.

Canon PowerShot S95
1/250s f/4.9 at 22.5mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
