water and fire

The Northern most tip of Big Island, in Kohala. Pic by S. Random factoid: Mauna Kea, the big ol' active volcano on this island, is the world's tallest mountain, measured from bottom (under the sea) to top. And Mauna Kea's peak is home to the world's biggest astronomical observatory. It's very snowy up there, at 13-some-odd-thousand feet.

Sunset through the banana leaves, from the lanai. Random factoid, contributed by S:
Did you know that the diorama was invented by the French?
