Hine Ora

 


It's been a while since I've visited Westport. Last time we were there I spotted this hefty looking sculpture on the main street. Crafted by Kapiti artist Bodhi Vincent it is made out of Kairuru Marble which is a coarse grained, crystalline stone and is named "Hine Ora" - Guardian of the vital life of all nature. 

Linking up with Through my lensTuesday TreasuresMy corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.
