Man, at the time of writing I just couldn't remember the name of this place. It's about an hour north of Gisborne and it seemed like the perfect time to get out the quad. There is this ridiculously long dock whose purpose I can't quite discern. It's not like there are cruise ships coming by... maybe they built it nice and long just for pedestrians.
So this was a rather tense situation... This tribe in PNG has all the women who are the badasses and they outfit them with all the kind of stuff you see here. Not long after I took this, the national military group showed up and started shooting off tear gas before things got too out of control. Pretty much everyone here imbibes the psychoactive betel nut, which makes their mouths and teeth a dark, bloody red. Anyway, before things got too rough, I left to go back to where I was staying. They don't really have hotels there, so I was staying at some compound that was built for diamond miners. There was this tough South African guy there that ran it... I'll never forget when he told me about how much the locals are thankful for him, and, if they are not, he carries around a 1-meter copper pipe to make sure they do. Pretty rough place!

The best time (for me) to visit these red gates is around sunset and into the evening. It's open all the time, but there are hardly any tourists there at night. It's great to walk around the 1,000+ gates and find different compositions and different sorts of lights... It makes me think of all the Japanese anime shows I've ever seen for some reason.
