The photograph captures a group of individuals seated around an outdoor dining table, engaged in the act of eating. The scene appears to be set during daytime under natural light conditions. On the table are various dishes and food items such as meat, bread, salads, and what looks like cake or pastry slices on individual plates. Beverages include at least two bottles with dark contents that could possibly be soda or juice. Each person has a cup in front of them, some holding utensils like forks or spoons suggesting they are consuming the meal.

The individuals exhibit diverse expressions; one appears to be enjoying their food while another looks into space, perhaps lost in thought. The attire suggests it might not be warm weather as coats and scarves can be seen worn by several people at the table. There is a sense of casualness yet attentiveness towards each other's presence during this communal meal.

The black-and-white nature of the photo adds to its timeless feel, while the setting implies an outdoor or semi-outdoor environment due to what appears to be white fabric in the background that could suggest some form of sheltered area. The photograph carries a candid and unposed quality capturing a slice-of-life moment among these individuals.

The photograph captures a somber rural scene centered on an old stone headstone set amidst wild grass and ferns. The grave is dedicated to James Keir Baxter, with the date of birth listed as 1892 and death in May 1972. Beside him rests Hemi, identified by another plaque reading "Heml," presumably his pet dog, dated from Whanganui in 1936 until passing away on May 5th, 1972, the same day as Baxter's memorialization. The headstone is weathered and appears to be made of stone with inscriptions etched into it for both individuals mentioned. In the background, a large tree looms over the grave site, adding to the sense of isolation in what seems like a countryside setting. Various objects are scattered around the gravesite including rocks or stones which serve as markers or perhaps memorials themselves. The black-and-white photograph conveys a historical and somewhat melancholic atmosphere reflective of the era it commemorates.

The black and white photograph features a group of five individuals standing on what appears to be a dirt path, with tall grasses visible in the foreground. They are dressed in bohemian-style clothing that suggests an era reminiscent of the late 1960s or early '70s counterculture movement. The attire includes flowing dresses and tunics adorned with various patterns and earthy tones.

Behind them is a rural backdrop, including wooden structures such as sheds or simple houses, which contribute to the rustic setting. A church spire rises prominently in the distance under an overcast sky, indicating some form of community gathering place amidst this pastoral scene. The overall atmosphere evokes themes of camaraderie and possibly cultural or spiritual significance.

The image is credited with a reference to James K Baxter's tangi (a Maori funeral ceremony), which took place on October 25th in Jerusalem, Wanganui. This context suggests the photograph may have been captured during a significant event or ritual for these individuals, adding layers of narrative and cultural depth to the visual depiction.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting a group of people gathered around a headstone. The headstone has text, which indicates it is for someone named Tenga de Amarangue who died on June 6th at the age of 45 years old. Two fur blankets are placed in front of the stone with flowers arranged atop them and beside them. Many individuals wearing dark coats or cloaks appear to be mourning; some wear headscarves, suggesting a possible cultural context related to grief rituals. The atmosphere seems solemn as people bow their heads and stand close together around the monument.

The photograph captures a moment from what appears to be an outdoor gathering or event, likely during the mid-20th century given its black and white composition. Three men are prominently featured in the foreground; all of them wear hats—a fedora for two on one side and a wide-brimmed hat for another—and long coats suitable for cool weather. The man with the cane is engaged in conversation with his left hand gesturing towards something outside the frame, while standing next to him looks down at what could be an object or document he's holding. Their relaxed postures suggest familiarity among themselves.

In the background, there are several more individuals mingling around—a mix of men and women wearing period-appropriate attire—indicating a social setting like a fair, community event, perhaps even sports-related given one man’s posture that could be interpreted as walking or carrying something not entirely visible in this frame. The environment is bright with natural sunlight casting shadows on the ground, hinting at daytime hours.

This scene provides insight into historical fashion and societal gatherings during its time period. It doesn't offer clear evidence about a specific location but seems like an everyday public event of considerable interest to those who attended.

The black and white photograph captures a young child performing a handstand on a grassy lawn. The scene is set in an open, suburban area with two-story houses visible in the background under clear skies. One house has prominent windows adorned with curtains, while another features a chimney indicating possible residential use.

In the foreground, there's no discernible text or branding to suggest commercial intent. However, it appears as though this image was taken during a time when film photography was prevalent due to its grainy texture and high contrast between light and shadow areas. The absence of modern elements like digital devices suggests an earlier period in history.

The child is dressed casually, wearing what looks like comfortable trousers and a striped top with loose hair cascading down from the head's upward position during the handstand. This image conveys a moment of childhood playfulness amidst the domestic backdrop of suburban life.

The photograph is a black and white, grainy image that captures a candid moment among five individuals seated on the grass. Four of them appear to be women while one seems to be a man based on their clothing style which includes suits with ties, coats, and hats— indicative of an earlier time period possibly mid-20th century attire.

Three of these women are dressed in winter or fall outerwear; two have fur collars over heavy woolen dresses. Their attention is focused outwardly as they seem engaged in conversation rather than looking at the camera which suggests a casual, unposed moment captured perhaps during an event outdoors on what appears to be a bright sunny day given their shadows and clothing choice for warmth.

The man seated between two women has his arm resting casually across the back of one woman's chair. He is holding papers or possibly tickets in his hand while another document rests atop his right knee suggesting they might have been attending an event, perhaps a fair where pamphlets were distributed as seen from their hands and documents spread out before them.

The background shows lush greenery which could indicate that the photo was taken at a park during spring or summer. There is no definitive indication of age range but it seems to be mature adults possibly in late middle ages judging by wrinkles visible on faces, particularly prominent around eyes for female subjects.

The image carries an air of h [...]

The black and white photograph depicts a dynamic scene of two individuals engaging in what appears to be a playful or acrobatic maneuver on grass. The person lying flat on the ground is wearing trousers with visible seams, suggesting practical clothing suited for activity. Above them, another individual is upside down above their feet, balancing themselves by wrapping their legs around and holding onto the first person's body; this creates an arc-like shape in mid-air.

The backdrop features a rural setting with hills or low mountains under clear skies, along with some distant structures that might be buildings, indicating it could be near a residential area. The contrast of shadows on the grass suggests sunlight from above, casting defined shapes around the figures and objects present.

There's an element of movement captured in this still image as evidenced by the extended leg reaching towards the sky which adds to the sense of motion within the composition. It evokes themes such as childhood playfulness, physical strength, balance, or even a cultural practice. The absence of color highlights contrasts between light and shadow, emphasizing textures like grass blades against smooth skin tones.

The photograph has an element of candidness that suggests it was taken spontaneously without staging, capturing a moment in time rather than a posed shot intended for artistic display.

The photo is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor gathering. In the foreground, there's a man dressed in a suit with a tie, sitting on what appears to be wooden bleachers or chairs. He holds a baby wrapped in a white garment, including a hat with ear flaps. The infant seems comfortable and secure against his chest.

The focus is slightly blurred around him, which highlights the subjects as they are meant for attention. Behind them, we see other attendees who appear engaged in conversations. Some wear sweaters over casual clothing while others have jackets on. Their expressions vary from attentive to neutral. In the background, a landscape with hills and some vegetation can be seen.

There is no direct indication of an event name or specific location beyond this being outdoors during daylight hours. It seems like people gathered for something significant given their attire but not in formal wear suggesting it could be a social function rather than ceremonial. The presence of both adults and children indicates family-friendly attendance to whatever they are attending, potentially hinting at community-oriented events such as festivals or local celebrations.

Without context provided by the photo's caption within Wanganui - Marae, there is no explicit indication about what this gathering might be for beyond these observations.

The black and white photograph captures a candid moment among individuals engaged in playing cards. Three people are seated at a table, with their attention focused on the game before them.

On the left side of the image is an older individual wearing a knitted sweater adorned with what appears to be a brooch or pendant around the neck area. This person's hair is dark and pulled back from the face, and they seem deeply engaged in examining cards spread out on the table.

In the center sits another participant, whose attire includes a cardigan over their clothing, paired with a scarf. Their expression suggests concentration as they look at their hand of cards.

On the right side, only partially visible is someone who appears to be reaching for or handling one of the playing cards scattered across the wooden surface. The individual's sleeve and part of what seems like dark hair are in view but not much else can be discerned due to the angle.

The table holds an assortment of card decks spread out with various faces up, indicating active gameplay. A bowl is also present on the tabletop near the center person, though its contents aren't clear from this perspective.

In summary, it's a snapshot that conveys a sense of social interaction and leisure through playing cards among what seems like friends or acquaintances in an indoor setting.

The photo captures a group of people gathered closely together, possibly at an outdoor event or gathering. The setting seems informal and social with individuals wearing various types of hats indicative of cold weather attire, such as fedoras and wide-brimmed hats for sun protection. Some wear overcoats, scarves, and shawls suggesting the photograph was taken in a temperate climate during cooler seasons like fall or early spring.

The group is diverse; men and women are present with both younger-looking individuals alongside those who appear older. The expressions on their faces range from smiles to neutral looks, indicating varying levels of engagement with what's happening around them. One individual stands out as they wear glasses and a patterned scarf wrapped snugly against the chill.

The setting includes architectural elements like carved wooden panels in the background which might suggest cultural significance or simply be part of local aesthetics. The absence of modern technology hints at an earlier time period, possibly mid-20th century given the style of clothing and overall ambiance of the photograph.

Water has powered industry for centuries. This undershot waterwheel powered a flour mill. One of a number on The Whanganui river, but the only one restored.
Something about waterwheels, belts and flywheels is so simple yet so productive in producing power.
And it is a constant source in a river.
Just like generating electricity, but with no middle man.
Hmm.
