The image depicts a scene from the 1960s featuring four children outdoors in what appears to be rural New Zealand. Two young boys are riding on horseback, with one boy sitting bareback while holding onto the reins and another standing behind him for support. The woman atop the horse is wearing glasses and has long hair that extends down her back. She's also donned a skirt as she rides along.

Behind them stand three other children: two boys who are facing away from the camera, one of whom appears to be squatting or bending over while holding something in his hands; and a girl dressed in a sleeveless dress with puffed sleeves standing beside him but turned towards another child. The fourth boy is seen looking at an unseen object held by someone outside of this frame.

The setting seems pastoral, as they are on a dirt road surrounded by trees and hills, suggesting that it's either early morning or late afternoon due to the soft light quality in the photo. This photograph captures everyday life for these children from Ruatoki circa 1963, providing insight into their daily activities and environment during this period.

Additionally, there is some contextual information available regarding Maori culture: "Ruatoki" refers specifically to a tribe within New Zealand's indigenous people known as the Māori. It could imply that these children belong to or are associated with such tribes in terms of cultural identity.

A freeze frame from episode 2 of the Pony Express Trail YouTube series as I am editing the footage and reliving the journey. Episode 1 is live on our YouTube channel, linked in bio etc. Ep. 2 probably next weekend.

A first-person view from a vehicle driving on a rocky, dirt road, possibly part of the Nevada section of the Pony Express Trail, through a narrow mountain canyon. The vehicle's hood is visible in the foreground, and the sun shines brightly at the top of the frame. The canyon walls are steep and rocky, with scattered trees and green shrubs.

#OnThisDay in 2016, I brought a new girl I had recently met on a day-long backcountry drive through the Sonoran desert west of Phoenix, exploring some territory I hadn’t been through before. We caught this sunset about an hour before we emerged back onto pavement a couple hours from home. She’s now my wife. ☀︎ #Arizona #Sunset #DirtRoads

So close! After 5 years we’re creeping up on the magical 4,000 hours of watch time in the last year. Also, new video in the works summarizing 5 out of the 12 dirt tracks we’ve done a full episodes for. #youtube #fourwheeltravel #dirtroads

The roads get windy, but if you stay on them long enough there's usually something cool at the end.

a winding dirt road snaking through mountains with more mountains off in the distance

Burr Trail Rd is a scenic byway that runs from the town of Boulder Utah through Capital Reef National Park's Waterpocket Fold and ultimately Bullfrog Marina and a small landing strip at Lake Powell.

This area formed during the Laramide orogeny that started 70 to 80 million years ago, and ended 35 to 55 million years ago

Some people like the ocean.
I prefer the desert.

Monsoon season in Utah brings intense rain, dramatic thunderstorms, powerful sunsets, and beautiful light.

This is Hole in the Rock Rd. An early and treacherous route taken by a party of 100 Mormon settlers.

Today, from our 4x4 diesel truck with the heated steering wheel - it's hard to imagine.

The article is skippable because it's a bunch of rich boomer former new yorkers decrying younger rich millenial new yorkers moving to their town and wanting to pave the roads, which would "change the character".

But this picture is AMAZING.

We don't know what this place is called, but it looks like White Pocket and it's down Spencer Flat Road... so we call it Spencer Pocket.

Interesting red and white gilled stone giving way to a green pasture and a salmon colored rock formation.

Im sitting out at Hole in the Rock - a small passage that was blasted by the mormons just wide enough to fit wagons down. It’s a 45 degree slope through a rock formation down to the Colorado river.

Mormon pioneers blasted this path and used ropes to lower their wagons to the river, where a party had been sent ahead to build a “just-good-enough” ferry that carried the travelers across.

I wake up in the morning, and I look around - and it doesn't matter what the weather is or what happened the day before - I'm just grateful to be here.

How insignificant we are.
