    Could have been a publisher's work, as for "Washday" purportedly near Taihape.

    Street scene, Gisborne on a quiet Saturday afternoon, 2011. No need for horse or rider to have any regard to the graphic sign.

    Not an everyday sight, but, well, it is Gisborne.

    thanks to an interview (transcribed here) I also have hanging in pride of place at home the third photo down on that interview - the young Maori boy singing into the edmonds baking powder tin at the front of the class, from 1963.

    Interesting interview, thanks. Not sure whether that title of your Ans Westra photo is as she wrote it, but Whatatutu would better be described as near Gisborne rather than Wairoa. It's say 45km inland of Gisborne - relating it to Wairoa would be like helping a South Islander by describing Helensville as near Hamilton.

    The beach in shot is also my wākāinga.

    Ohope looking good - and for the next generation, it would seem their turangaringaringa rather than turangawaewae?

    Wakefield St, near Jervois Quay. That pohutukawa one of many cluttering up the triangular car-park beside the Michael Fowler Centre - here's another example of the mess they make of what would otherwise be a nice tidy car-park. These on 16Dec2008 ie three years ago almost to the day - check them out.

    This one had a few paint jobs in its time, much pride there.

    Age before... Beauty.

    Always. But still the urban pohutukawa has its virtues - here helping to rug-up a Wellington wheelchair-user in a strong tailwind.

    Colour on some old black.

    ... but not so well maintained. Yet it is well hearted by all those lovely kawakawa leaves.
