Maori Carvings - #22

BW Architecture - July 2011 Challenge

These are Maori Carvings outside the Grey Lynn Community Centre in Auckland
The figures in Maori carvings, with very rare exceptions, are not religious, but secular.
They do not represent idols, but rather renowned ancestors of the tribe.

Canon EOS 50D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
