Ruaihona Marae, Te Teko
One thing I have a fascination with are Maori Maraes. When we are out driving and I see a signpost I try to stop outside there and take photos - I think it's the architecture and artistic carvings that interest me. Ruaihona Marae is on the edge of the Rangitaiki River in Te Teko. There are 2 other Maraes in the area; Tuteao and Uiraroa.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

That does draw my eye!
The carvings look impressive. It would be fun to see to see close-up shots!

They are impressive. Was interesting to visit the inside of the meeting house at Whaka
Fabulous architecture!
Color scheme is very attractive.
Worth a Thousand Words
They would draw me in too Amy, the carving is incredibly appealing!
