AXEMEN 16.TIF
Attendance at the 108th Taihape and District A&P Show is pretty sparse this year, but look, there’s still a bit of action under this January sky.
It’s livelier still in front of the pavilion at the Taihape War Memorial Park, where tall islands of cloud are stacking up behind the mint-green grandstand, built in 1924. Yep, once upon a time its 625 seats would have been chocka and today, there are just a dozen people, but look—the axemen and women chopping furiously in front of it are working just as hard as ever.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 159 September - October 2019.
