Urupa

This is from yesterday, when my brother-in-law (and sister) took me to a very special place - his private family Urupa (Maori Cemetery). It was a privilege to be there and to be allowed to take some photographs. The two outer headstones are from 1905 and 1909, while the one in the middle (made from wood) has no markings. Thanks for allowing me to visit here John.
