On Otaki Beach (NZ) a hundred years ago

A happy gathering on Otaki Beach (New Zealand) a hundred years ago. My restoration and colorization od Leslie Adkin´s image in the Museum of New Zealand archive.

 

Ōtaki Beach spans the stretch of coastline between the Ōtaki River and the Waitohu Stream in the Wellington Region, with a residential community of both permanent and holiday homes. The beach is popular for surfing, swimming, recreational fishing, horse riding, walking and photography.

 

When I post this, it is winter - and night - in New Zealand. The weather is cooler than in the picture:

3°C°F

Precipitation: 2%

Humidity: 90%

Wind: 1 m/s
