dont got much else to add, just a group of hunters back in the day with their dogs, common sight youll see around New Zealand today, big hunting culture down here. I do like the man in the backs vibe, gives rugged bushman vibes.
though nowadays Kapiti island is a nature reserve so no hunting i suppose, used to be a trading hub for flax between Europeans and Maori back in the 1830s as well.
