One from Rotorua this week. This bronze sculpture was unveiled in 2001 to mark the new millenium. Supported by both the Millenium Trust and the Rotorua Energy Charitable Trust, Waitukei was made by Rotorua artist Lyonel Grant. His inspiration for the sculpture was the people of the area and the rich melding of Maori and European cultures. It was crafted from bronze over a 2 year period and depicts 2 symbolic figures, one male and one female.

hm, not sure I understand this one. It is beautiful and weird at the same time. This is a statue I would probably circle a couple of times before I would be done with it. :) :)
The first one looks pretty fierce
Lovely!! #ThruMyLens
