back to the past
posting a series of moai images from rapa nui (easter island), recently dusted off for an a po fundraiser.
the east end
the front facade of the halawa congregational chruch, at the far east end of moloka‘i. built in 1852, it was pounded by a massive tsunami in 1946 that destroyed the entire community, leaving the valley abandoned.
pololu valley, big island
far back in pololu, time almost stands still. it’s sobering to imagine the generations of ancient hawaiians, or the historic chinese farmers, their stone walls and terraces now witnessing only the growth of massive trees. a respectful silence dominates this corner of the world.
