Mt Victoria, Māori pouwhenua carving.

The carved post on the ridge is a marker for the Maori Heritage Trail, Te Ara o Nga Tupuna (the Path of our Ancestors). The Māori Heritage Trail introduces you to the sites of early Māori settlement around Wellington, dating back hundreds of years, and the stories that explain names and landmarks such as Tangi Te Keo (the name given to the summit of Mt Victoria/Matairangi).

Here's the cover for another travel sketchbook that I'm piecing together. This one will be called "Ten Days:Two Islands- New Zealand and Fiji. Inspiration for the cover was derived from the Fijian Masi (bark cloth) and Maori Pouwhenua (totems). The interior of this sketchbook is done in pencil so I attempted to adopt the same softer look for the cover which may be hard to see in this photo. #newzealand #fiji #masi #pouwhenua #sketchbook #pencil #wip #travel #journal #maori
