Ōnawe peninsula is an volcanic plug in Akaroa Harbour, part of the Banks Peninsula Volcano, last active approximately 10 million years ago. The site is scared to Maori and was a Ngāi Tahu pa, captured in a bloody battle with Ngāi Toa in 1831.

I was investigating natural patterns in the rock formations and the human made patterns in the grasslands as walkways.
There is a comparison also on a larger scale between the ancient landscape and the housing development at Ngaio Point in the background.
