Te Hononga




 I've been wanting to take a photo of this particular mural for some time and finally last week I walked to the edge of Paihia Beach where I was able to find out more about it. Located on a hillside, painted on the bricks of a retaining wall this mural was painted by kiwi Erika Pearce as a "Focus Paihia" community project. Named "Te Hononga" it means "The Connection" in Maori language - click on the photo  below for a larger image.

Linking up with Mural Monday.
